4TRW, 4TRZ - PubMed Abstract: 
A superior substrate sequence for BACE1 containing transition-state mimics at the scissile site was evaluated as a protease inhibitor. Hydroxymethylcarbonyl (HMC) and hydroxyethylamine (HEA) isosteres were selected as the transition state mimics, and incorporated into the scissile site of the superior sequence covering the P4 to P1' sites (Glu-Ile-Thi-Thi(*)Nva; (*)denotes the cleavage site) ...
