1,5-anhydro-2-C-(carboxymethyl-N-hydroxyamide)-2-deoxy-3-O-myristoyl-D-glucitol | synthesis of the 13C-labeled substrate-analogue inhibitor, and the subsequent refinement of the solution structure of the LpxC-inhibitor complex using residual dipolar couplings. Structural basis for the design of more potent LpxC inhibitors. The best LpxC inhibitors should contain: (1) a zinc-chelating group situated between two hydrophobic molecular moieties and (2) a negatively charged group or polar group capable of forming salt bridges or hydrogen bonds with the basic patch. For the hydrophobic fragment to fit within the hydrophobic passage, a linear chemical group without branches is preferable and the total length from the hydroxamate group (which presumably binds Zn2+) to the terminal end of the linear fragment should be less than 15 A. Any hydrophobic group with a length beyond 15 A might require flexibility to fit the curved surface extending the hydrophobic passage, where the terminal methyl and the last two methylene groups of the 1,5-anhydro-2-C-(carboxymethyl-N-hydroxyamide)-2-deoxy-3-O-myristoyl-D-glucitol acyl chain are located | Aquifex aeolicus |
