CRYSTAL STRUCTURE

The present invention relates to crystals of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) wherein the PDHK protein includes PDHK-2 amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 but starting at amino acid position 16, or a homologue, fragment, variant or derivative thereof.). The invention also relates to hig...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to crystals of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) wherein the PDHK protein includes PDHK-2 amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 but starting at amino acid position 16, or a homologue, fragment, variant or derivative thereof.). The invention also relates to high resolution three dimensional structures of PDHK in the presence and absence of physiological and syntheti c ligands obtained by X-ray diffraction and use of the structures to identify, design or select compounds that bind to PDHK. The invention further relates to compounds identified, designed or selected using high resolution structures of PDHK. Also provided are nucleotide sequences used to obtain crystallisable PDHK protein.
