Figure 2. Critical Interactions of Bortezomib with Active Site Residues Responsible for Chymotryptic and Caspase-like Activities
Schematic overview of bortezomib bound to (A) the chymotryptic-like active site and (B) the caspase-like active site. Hydrogen bonds with correlated distances in Å are shown as brown dashed lines, whereas characteristic oxygen and nitrogen atoms are presented in red and blue capitals. The amino acid, which is responsible for the character and binding mode to the P3-pyrazine-2-carboxyl side chain of the inhibitor is located at the adjacent b-type subunit and shown in gray. The defined water molecule forming tight hydrogen bonds to the protein is depicted in magenta, and the inhibitor is shown in green.
