Abstract

Modelling of the mechanism of covalent adduct formation by the inhibitor O-arylcarbamate URB524 in FAAH shows that only one of the two possible inhibitor binding orientations is consistent with the experimentally observed irreversible carbamoylation of the nucleophile serine: this is a potentially crucial insight for designing new covalent inhibitors of this promising drug target.
