  • Patent number: 8577624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a crystal structure of a plasma membrane proton pump type ATPase. The invention further describes method for identification of modulators of ATPases as well as uses of such modulators. Based on the provided three dimensional structure of the ATPase, various method, such as computer implemented methods may be used for identification of modulators, such putative modulators may be further analysed using in vitro and in vivo experiments to confirm there functionality. Several modulator interaction regions are described as target of regulation by ATPase modulators.

  • Publication number: 20100312525
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for producing high resolution crystals of ribosomes and ribosomal subunits as well as crystals produced by such methods. The invention also provides high resolution structures of ribosomal subunits either alone or in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors. The invention provides methods for identifying ribosome-related ligands and methods for designing ligands with specific ribosome-binding properties as well as ligands that may act as protein synthesis inhibitors. Thus, the methods and compositions of the invention may be used to produce ligands that are designed to specifically kill or inhibit the growth of any target organism.
