Rj. Quinn et al., THE CONSERVED ACID-BINDING DOMAIN MODEL OF INHIBITORS OF PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE-1 AND PHOSPHATASE-2A - MOLECULAR MODELING ASPECTS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(6), 1993, pp. 1029-1034
Using molecular modelling, three chemically distinct members of the ok
adaic acid class of protein phosphatase inhibitors and tumor promoters
, okadaic acid, calyculin A and microcystin-LR were fitted together. T
he molecular modelling results indicate a pharmacophore model consisti
ng of a central core, containing one conserved acidic group and two po
tential hydrogen bonding sites, and a non-polar side chain.
