Figure 3. Abl-AMN107 complex
A: Superposition of AMN107 (magenta) bound to Abl^M351T (orange), and imatinib (green) bound to Abl (yellow). H bonds within the AMN107-Abl^M351T complex are depicted as dashed red lines, whereas those in the imatinib complex are shown in black. The variability in the positions of side chains from the C-helix (top right corner) is due to crystal contacts that influence the position of the N-terminal lobe of the kinase. The methyl-imidazole group of AMN107 packs in a hydrophobic pocket formed by these residues with the nitrogen exposed to solvent.
B: Superposition of parts of the backbone structures of imatinib-Abl (yellow), AMN107-Abl^M351T (orange), and AMN107-Abl (cyan). The inhibitors are shown in green, magenta and blue, respectively. The small black arrows show the shifts within helix E and the preceding loop, DE. Figure 3.
