Abstract
The first subatomic resolution structure of a 36 kDa protein [aldose reductase is presented. AR was cocrystallized at pH 5.0 with its cofactor NADP+ and inhibitor IDD 594, a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of diabetic complications. X-ray diffraction data were collected up to 0.62 A resolution and treated up to 0.66 A resolution. Anisotropic refinement followed by a blocked matrix inversion produced low standard deviations (<0.005 A). The model was very well ordered overall (CA atoms' mean B factor is 5.5 A2). The model and the electron-density maps revealed fine features, such as H-atoms, bond densities, and significant deviations from standard stereochemistry. Other features, such as networks of hydrogen bonds (H bonds), a large number of multiple conformations, and solvent structure were also better defined. Most of the atoms in the active site region were extremely well ordered (mean B approximately 3 A2), leading to the identification of the protonation states of the residues involved in catalysis. The electrostatic interactions of the inhibitor's charged carboxylate head with the catalytic residues and the charged coenzyme NADP+ explained the inhibitor's noncompetitive character. Furthermore, a short contact involving the IDD 594 bromine atom explained the selectivity profile of the inhibitor, important feature to avoid toxic effects. The presented structure and the details revealed are instrumental for better understanding of the inhibition mechanism of AR by IDD 594, and hence, for the rational drug design of future inhibitors. This work demonstrates the capabilities of subatomic resolution experiments and stimulates further developments of methods allowing the use of the full potential of these experiments.

Figure 1. Contacts of IDD 594 with AR and NADP^+. (a) 3D view of inhibitor contacts. View of the inhibitor-binding site down the barrel axis with the semitransparent representation of AR surface. The active site cleft (marked A), is occupied by the inhibitor (stick only; color code: C = gray, N = blue, O = red, F = pink, S = orange, Br = green) and surrounded by the catalytic residues His 110, Tyr 48, and the coenzyme NADP^+. The residues within 3.9 Å and NADP^+ are shown (balls and sticks). The specificity pocket between Leu 300, Phe 122, and Trp 111 (marked S) is occupied by the brominated aromatic ring of the inhibitor. (b) Scheme of IDD 594 and its contacts. Red dashed lines show contacts between 3.5 and 3.0 Å, and blue dashed lines show contacts <3.0 Å. The exact values are given in Table IV.
