Keys to Lipid Selection in Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Catalysis: Structural Flexibility, Gating Residues and Multiple Binding Pockets

Ursula Röthlisberger, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Giulia Palermo, Andrea Cavalli

The fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) regulates the endocannabinoid system cleaving primarily the lipid messenger anandamide. FAAH has been well characterized over the years and, importantly, it represents a promising drug target to treat several diseases, ...

Computational insights into function and inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase

Ursula Röthlisberger, Giulia Palermo, Andrea Cavalli

The Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) enzyme is a membrane-bound serine hydrolase responsible for the deactivating hydrolysis of a family of naturally occurring fatty acid amides. FAAH is a critical enzyme of the endocannabinoid system, being mainly respon ...

Wagging the Tail: Essential Role of Substrate Flexibility in FAAH Catalysis

Ursula Röthlisberger, Marilisa Neri, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Giulia Palermo, Andrea Cavalli

The serine hydrolase, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), is responsible for the intracellular degradation of anandamide and other bioactive fatty acid ethanolamides involved in the regulation of pain, inflammation, and other pathophysiological processes. T ...

Molecular Simulations Highlight the Role of Metals in Catalysis and Inhibition of Type II Topoisomerase

Matteo Dal Peraro, Marco Stenta, Andrea Cavalli

Type II topoisomerase (topoII) is a metalloenzyme targeted by clinical antibiotics and anticancer agents. Here, we integrate existing structural data with molecular simulation and propose a model for the yet uncharacterized structure of the reactant state ...

Common mechanistic features among metallo-β-lactamases: a computational study of Aeromonas hydrophila CphA enzyme

Matteo Dal Peraro, Paolo Carloni, Andrea Cavalli

Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) constitute an increasingly serious clinical threat by giving rise to β-lactam antibiotic resistance. They accommodate in their catalytic pocket one or two zinc ions, which are responsible for the hydrolysis of β-lactams. Recent ...
