1 METHODS AND FINDINGS: We have determined, by X-ray crystallography, the first reported structure of TbCatB in complex with the cathepsin B selective inhibitor CA074. N-(3-propylcarbamoyloxirane-2-carbonyl)-isoleucyl-proline cathepsin B Homo sapiens
2 The TbCat*CA074 structure confirms that the occluding loop, which is an essential part of the substrate-binding site, creates a larger prime side pocket in the active site cleft than is found in mammalian cathepsin B-small molecule structures. N-(3-propylcarbamoyloxirane-2-carbonyl)-isoleucyl-proline cathepsin B Homo sapiens
