Figure 3. (a) Structure of uPA–thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamidine, pH 6.5, at 1.65 Å resolution, on the (2|F[o]|–|F[c]|), α[c] map. The occupancies of conformation 1 (with green carbons) and 2 (light green carbons) are 66% and 34%, respectively. In the trypsin complex the corresponding occupancies are 54% and 46% at pH 5.5, and 31% and 69% at pH 8.2. (b) Superposition of uPA– and trypsin–thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamidine, pH 5.5. For clarity only the first conformation of the bound inhibitors is shown. In each complex the aromatic rings of the two bound conformations of the inhibitors lie in the same plane as one another (see Figure 4a). The two locations of the Hγ proton of Ser195 for the trypsin complex are shown.
