'''HUMAN METHIONINE AMINOPEPTIDASE 2 COMPLEXED WITH ANGIOGENESIS INHIBITOR FUMAGILLIN'''
===HUMAN METHIONINE AMINOPEPTIDASE 2 COMPLEXED WITH ANGIOGENESIS INHIBITOR FUMAGILLIN===




==Overview==
<!--
The fungal metabolite fumagillin suppresses the formation of new blood vessels, and a fumagillin analog is currently in clinical trials as an anticancer agent. The molecular target of fumagillin is methionine aminopeptidase-2 (MetAP-2). A 1.8 A resolution crystal structure of free and inhibited human MetAP-2 shows a covalent bond formed between a reactive epoxide of fumagillin and histidine-231 in the active site of MetAP-2. Extensive hydrophobic and water-mediated polar interactions with other parts of fumagillin provide additional affinity. Fumagillin-based drugs inhibit MetAP-2 but not MetAP-1, and the three-dimensional structure also indicates the likely determinants of this specificity. The structural basis for fumagillin's potency and specificity forms the starting point for structure-based drug design.
