Active site and docking of 6 ANPs with T. brucei APRT1. (a) The crystal structure of the T.brucei APRT1.adenine.ribose-5-phosphate.PPi.Mg2+ complex (PDB code 5VN4). (bg) The six compounds with Ki values < 22 μM (3a, 9a, 9d, 9g, 17 and 22, Table 1) docked into this structure. In all docked structures, the adenine base fills the purine binding pocket and makes three hydrogen bonds with the enzyme. The attachments either fill or partially fill the 5-phosphate binding pocket (near E120) or the pyrophosphate binding pocket (near R82). Images were drawn using PyMOL 2.449.
