, N-[2-[5-(tert-butyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-(1RS-1- (methylethyl)-2-oxoeth
yl]-2-(5-amino-6-oxo-2-phenyl-6H-pyrimidan-1-ly)acetamide (ONO-6818, 1) com
plexed to porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) has been determined at 1.86 Ang
strom resolution. Analytical results provided evidence of a 1:1 complex in
which the electrophilic ketone of 1 covalently bound to O gamma of Ser195 a
t the active site of PPE. The role of the unique electron-withdrawing keton
e of 1 has been elucidated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reser
