Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Jun 21;9(12):1645-50. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00245-0.

Abstract

We have determined a possible transition-state for the reaction catalysed by the enzyme Estrone Sulfatase (ES) - as a representation of the active site. Using the derived structure, we have superimposed several steroidal and non-steroidal inhibitors in an attempt to rationalise the inhibitory activity of a number of potent inhibitors.
