Abstract

A homology derived molecular model of prostate specific antigen (PSA) was created and refined. The active site region was investigated for specific interacting functionality and a binding model postulated for the novel 2-azetidinone acyl enzyme inhibitor 1 (IC50= 8.98±0.90 μM) which was used as a lead compound in this study. A single low energy conformation structure II (Figure 2) was adopted as most likely to represent binding after ...
