Abstract:

We constructed a high quality model of human GSTP1*B(glutathione S-transferases, Pi class *B variant) and revealed the interactions between protein and three inhibitors including ethacrynic acid(EA) and its conjugate of glutathione [EAG(I) and EAG(O)] to explore the structure-function relationship via molecular dynamics(MD) simulations. Based on the results of interaction energy caculation and the analysis of MD simulation trojactory, several critical residues of stablizing the structure of G- and H-site, including Phe8, Arg13, Trp38 and Tyr108, were identified. Our results also show that the conjutation of GSTP1*B protein may increase the binding ability of the inhibitor and the specific selectivity of Phe8 and Tyr108 to the substrate.
