Changes in gamma-secretase activity and specificity caused by the introduction of consensus aspartyl protease active motif in Presenilin 1Donald B Carter
Global Research and Development, Pfizer Inc, Kalamazoo, MI 49001, USA
Mol Neurodegener 3:6. 2008..This study provides an important structural clue for the rational design of drugs to inhibit processing of APP at the gamma-site without interfering with Notch processing...
High yield expression of human BACE constructs in Eschericia coli for refolding, purification, and high resolution diffracting crystal formsA G Tomasselli
Global Research and Development, St Louis Laboratories, Pfizer Inc, Chesterfield, MO 63017, USA
Protein Pept Lett 15:131-43. 2008..In addition, a crystal form that does not require the presence of an inhibitor has been obtained for pQE70-BACE. This ligand-free crystal form has proven useful for the preparation of BACE-inhibitor complexes in soaking experiments...

Global Research and Development, St Louis Laboratories, Pfizer Inc, Chesterfield, MO 63017, USA
Protein Pept Lett 15:119-30. 2008..ES(432) (His)(6) derivative that was purified yielding an enzyme that was no more active than untreated BACE but co-crystallized with inhibitors producing well shaped, bipyramidal co-crystals diffracting to 2.6 A resolution...
Large scale refolding and purification of the catalytic domain of human BACE-2 produced in E. coliT L Emmons
Global Research and Development, St Louis Laboratories, Pfizer Inc, 700 Chesterfield Parkway West, Chesterfield, MO, USA
Protein Pept Lett 16:121-31. 2009..Refolded BACE-2 was purified by anion exchange, molecular sieve, and affinity chromatographies, yielding 105 mg of homogeneous enzyme (kcat/ Km = 1.2 x 10(4) x M(-1) x sec(-1)) from 8 liters of E. coli cell culture...
