Abstract

On the basis of the comparison of the structure of the Bim BH3: Bcl-xL complex and that of the ABT-737: Bcl-xL complex, a series of class A compounds were designed. These compounds had the basic skeleton of ABT-737 and the h2 residues of Bim BH3. These residues had shown themselves to be relevant to Bim BH3's broad-spectrum binding properties in saturation mutagenesis assays. Unlike ABT-737, which is a selective ...
