Biochemistry - 31 Mar 1998

Abstract excerpt
Sulfoxides inhibit horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (EqADH) by binding to the enzyme-NADH complex. X-ray crystallography suggests that sulfoxides make a cation-pi interaction with the benzene ring of Phe-93 [Cho et al. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 382-389]. Structure-function relationships were examined with seven different sulfoxides binding to five human enzymes (alpha, beta1, gamma2, pi, and sigma) and three...
