Crystal Structure of Human Beta Secretase Complexed with inhibitor
Structural highlights
FunctionBACE1_HUMAN Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment which is later released by gamma-secretase.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThis Letter describes the design and synthesis of tertiary carbinamine macrocyclic inhibitors of the beta-secretase (BACE-1) enzyme. These macrocyclic inhibitors, some of which incorporate novel P2 substituents, display a 2- to 100-fold increase in potency relative to the previously described acyclic analogs while affording greater stability.
