PLoS ONE Launches SGC Collection

A New Collection of innovative articles with 3D interactivity was launched by PLoS ONE.

The collection uses the iSee concept, developed in collaboration between the SGC and MolSoft to aid in drug discovery and design.

Structure of the week:
Human 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase

  Human 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase  - 3ISQ

4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) catalyzes the second step of tyrosine catabolism. Higher organisms utilize this pathway primarily to remove the relatively insoluble tyrosine from blood. Several diseases are associated with human HPPD including type III tyrosinemia, an autosomal recessive disorder that results in mental retardation and corneal opacities, and hawkinsinuria, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by metabolic acidosis and failure to thrive. To provide insights into disease pathology and development of species-specific inhibitors, we have determined the crystal structure of human HPPD.
Here we report the structure of Human HPPD at 1.8 Å resolution.
