The X-ray crystal structures of the catalytic domain of human collagenase-3 (MMP-13) and collagenase-1 (MMP-1) with bound inhibitors provides a basis for understanding the selectivity profile of a novel series of matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibitors. Differences in the relative size and shape of the MMP S1' pockets suggest that this pocket is a critical determinant of MMP inhibitor selectivity ...
