Figure 3. Complex of mini-MMP-9 and the barbiturate inhibitor RO-206-0222 (5-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-5-(4-pyrimidin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-pyrimidin-2,4,6-trione). (a) Chemical formula of RO-206-0222 and IC[50] values against several MMPs.^32 (b) Stereo representation of the active site region of mini-MMP-9-RO-206-0222, superimposed with the 2F[obs]–F[calc] electron density (orange) around the inhibitor, contoured at 1σ. The standard orientation is as in Figure 1(a). The inhibitor and the mini-MMP-9 are shown as stick models, with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in blue and red, and carbon atoms in yellow and green, respectively. Ionic bonds to the catalytic zinc and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are shown as broken lines (distances in Å).
