modeling data of inhibitor PT682 in the active site indicate that binding would require ligand-induced conformational changes to the enzyme for the inhibitor to fit or that the inhibitor side-chain would have to adopt an alternative binding mode to that observed for similar inhibitors. The complexes have an increased active-site volume compared with complexes of the enzyme from Mus musculus
