The three−dimensional structure of the catalytic domain of stromelysin−1 complexed with an N−carboxyl alkyl inhibitor has been determined by NMR methods. The global fold consists of three helices, a five stranded beta−sheet and a methionine located in a turn near the catalytic histidines, classifying stromelysin−1 as a metzincin. Stromelysin−1 is unique in having two independent zinc binding sites: a catalytic site and a structural site. The inhibitor binds in an extended conformation. The S1' subsite is a deep hydrophobic pocket, whereas S2' appears shallow and S3' open.
