Sandbox 34: Difference between revisions

In two different cathepsin K inhibitors, referenced PDB codes <scene name='Sandbox_34/Cathkaldinhibit/1'>1BP4</scene> and <scene name='Sandbox_34/Cathepsin_k_1bqi/1'>1BQI</scene>, it is evident that the inhibitor binds with much closer proximity than that of Clik148. 1BP4 is a cathepsin K inhibitor, N-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-L-leucyl-N-[(2S)-1-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-yl]-L-leucinamide, that inhibits by interacting with 11 different residues on papain: Gln19, Gly20, Ser21, Gly23, Asn64, Gly65, Gln142, Asp158, His159, Trp177, and Trp181. These interactions range from hydrophobic, electrostatic, and hydrogen bonding, to <scene name='Sandbox_34/Cathkaldinhibitpistacking/1'>ring stacking</scene> between the aromatic ring of the carbobenzyl group on 1BP4, and TRP177 of papain. <ref> PMID:9804696 </ref>
