Figure 5. Edge-to-face aromatic–aromatic interaction.

Figure 5

(A) The model of inhibitor YHJ-97 (purple stick) is shown complexed with cdMT1-MMP. The phenyl ring centroid-to-centroid distance between the phthalimido and Phe260 is 5.5 Å. Zinc is shown as magenta CPK (Corey–Pauling–Koltun) with the three co-ordinating histidines as blue wire. (B) The model of inhibitor YHJ-96 (beige stick) is shown complexed with cdMT1-MMP. The phthalimido substituent does not interact with any residues of cdMT1-MMP.
