The anti-Alzheimer's drug E2020 (marketed as Aricept®) is an inhibitor that binds acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with high affinity. The X-ray structure of the E2020-AChE (AChE from ''Torpedo california'') complex shows that E2020 has a '''<scene name='1eve/E2020_close_up_with_84_279/7'>unique orientation</scene>''' along the active-site gorge, extending from the anionic subsite ('''<scene name='1eve/E2020_close_up_with_84lbld/3'>W84</scene>''') of the active site, at the bottom, to the peripheral anionic site ('''<scene name='1eve/E2020_close_up_with_84_279lbld/2'>near W279</scene>'''), at the top, via aromatic stacking interactions with conserved aromatic acid residues. E2020 does not, however, interact directly with either the catalytic triad or the 'oxyanion hole' but only '''<scene name='1eve/E20_interactionshown/3'>indirectly via solvent molecules</scene>'''. | |||
