Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate extracellular matrix. Structural studies of MMPs and TIMPs are key to understanding diseases like arthritis and cancer metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Structural Biology
  • Molecular Medicine

Background:

  • Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix.
  • Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate MMP activity.
  • Imbalance in MMP/TIMP activity is linked to diseases like arthritis and cancer metastasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand the functional properties of MMPs and TIMPs.
  • To identify structural features governing enzyme-inhibitor interactions.
  • To facilitate structure-based drug design for associated diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Determination of three-dimensional structures of MMPs.
  • Analysis of MMP-inhibitor complexes.
  • Determination of TIMP structures and MMP-TIMP complexes.
