A combination of solid-state NMR and MD simulations reveals the binding mode of a rhomboid protease inhibitor

Intramembrane proteolysis plays a fundamental role in many biological and pathological processes. Intramembrane proteases thus represent promising pharmacological targets, but few selective inhibitors have been identified. This is in contrast to their soluble counterparts, which are inhibited by many common drugs, and is in part explained by the inherent difficulty to characterize the binding of drug-like molecules to membrane proteins at atomic resolution. Here, we investigated the binding of...
