ligand complex structure of soluble epoxide hydrolase
Structural highlights
FunctionHYES_HUMAN Bifunctional enzyme. The C-terminal domain has epoxide hydrolase activity and acts on epoxides (alkene oxides, oxiranes) and arene oxides. Plays a role in xenobiotic metabolism by degrading potentially toxic epoxides. Also determines steady-state levels of physiological mediators. The N-terminal domain has lipid phosphatase activity, with the highest activity towards threo-9,10-phosphonooxy-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid, followed by erythro-9,10-phosphonooxy-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid, 12-phosphonooxy-octadec-9Z-enoic acid, 12-phosphonooxy-octadec-9E-enoic acid, and p-nitrophenyl phospate.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedFragment-based drug discovery relies upon structural information for efficient compound progression, yet it is often challenging to generate structures with bound fragments. A summary of recent literature reveals that a wide repertoire of experimental procedures is employed to generate ligand-bound crystal structures successfully. We share in-house experience from setting up and executing fragment crystallography in a project that resulted in 55 complex structures. The ligands span five orders of magnitude in affinity and the resulting structures are made available to be of use, for example, for development of computational methods. Analysis of the results revealed that ligand properties such as potency, ligand efficiency (LE) and, to some degree, clogP influence the success of complex structure generation.
