Rezumat

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the object of many studies due to the fact that it plays an important role in the vital activity of organisms. In particular, when new AChE inhibitors are developed, much attention is paid to the specificity of their action. One of the approaches used to study the specificity is to compare AChE taken from various organisms. In this work, crystallographic data are used to investigate the active sites of AChE (ASAs) in the free (uncomplexed) state for the following five organisms: Homo sapiens (HS), Mus musculus (MM), Torpedo californica (TC), Electrophorus electricus (EE), and Drosophila melanogaster (DM). The structural fractal analysis (SFA) proposed by us earlier is used as a research method. This method is based on the calculation and comparison of the fractal dimensions of molecular structures. SFA demonstrates that there are no significant structural differences between the active sites of human AChE and other AChEs. However, differences are found for the MM/EE pair. Further analysis of individual AARs has revealed two different areas of active sites. Ser203, Trp236, Phe338, and Tyr341 are found to belong to a variable region, and the remaining AARs belong to a conservative region of the ASAs. The fraction of “variability” is low, 0.8%.
