Figure 3. Interactions of HDAC8 with Inhibitors and Substrate(A) Stereo figure showing key residues in the HDAC8 active site, two TSA molecules (blue and pink), the zinc (orange), and the sodium (purple). Potential hydrogen bonds are depicted as dashed lines.(B) F[o] - F[c] simulated annealing omit maps showing the electron density for the two molecules of TSA. The maps were contoured at 2.5s and are shown within 1.8 Å of the TSA molecules.(C) Schematic diagram showing the binding of the hydroxamate inhibitors to HDAC8.(D) Schematic diagram showing the proposed model of how the acetylated lysine would interact with the HDAC catalytic machinery.
