Figure 4.
Figure 4. Covalent and non-covalent binding of inhibitors (green, carbon; red, oxygen; and blue, nitrogen) towards the DPIV active site (active residues, light blue; enzyme residues, beige). Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are given as broken black lines, the 2F[obs] -F[calc] electron density omit maps (blue mesh, contoured at 1s) are given for the inhibitor alone. The Figure was prepared using the program PYMOL (http://pymol.sourceforge.net/). (a) Ball-and-stick representation of l-Pro-l-boroPro in complex with DPIV. (b) Ball-and-stick representation of 7-benzyl-1,3-dimethyl-8-piperazin-1-yl-3,7-dihydro-purine-2,6-dione (BDPX) shown against the solid surface of the DPIV residues around the active site. (c) Ball-and-stick representation of BDPX against the DPIV active site.
