Abstract excerpt
Mammalian phosphodiesterases types 3 and 4 (PDE3 and PDE4) hydrolyze cAMP and are essential for the regulation of this intracellular second messenger. These enzymes share structural and biochemical similarities, but each can be distinguished by its sensitivity to isoenzyme-specific, substrate-competitive inhibitors. We present a model configuration for the PDE4 substrate (cAMP) and a PDE4-specific inhibitor...
