Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of the src SH2 domain revealed the presenc e of a thiol residue (Cys 188) located proximal to the phosphotyrosine portion of a dipeptide ligand. An aldehyde bearing ligand (1) was des igned to position an electrophilic carbonyl group in the vicinity of t he thiol. X-ray crystallographic and NMR examination of the complex fo rmed between (1) and the src SH2 domain revealed a hemithioacetal form ed by addition of the thiol to the aldehyde group with an additional s tabilizing hydrogen bond between the acetal hydroxyl and a backbone ca rbonyl.
