Evaluation of zinc binding groups (ZBGs) as inhibitor building blocks using carbonic anhydrase and the catalytic domain of matrix metalloproteinase 12 (cdMMP-12)

Craig, Whitney Richert

Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) was used as a model for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). CA is a more ubiquitous protein that binds zinc in the same manner as MMPs, His3(OH). Current MMP inhibitors target both unregulated and normal functioning MMPs at the catalytic Zn(II) site, but show minimal specificity and high toxicity. A new class of inhibitor building blocks are being evaluated as potential MMP inhibitor scaffolds, based on their interactions with Zn- and Co-containing CA.
