Figure 4
The soaked structure of an indole acid inhibitor binding to the Mcl-1–scFv complex (PDB entry 6qb4). (a) Ribbon representation of the whole complex, with Mcl-1 (light grey) bound by the scFv (dark grey) and the inhibitor (orange). A surface representation is displayed around the ligand-binding site. (b) Detailed view of the inhibitor in the BH3 binding site, showing the critical salt-bridge interaction between the indole acid group and Arg263 and the deep hydrophobic pocket that accommodates the tetrahydronaphthyl anchor. (c) Overlay showing the structural similarity between the Mcl-1–scFv complex and published structures with analogous inhibitors. Green, PDB entry 3wix co-crystallized with Mcl-1 (Tanaka et al., 2013 ![]() ![]() |
