Abstract

Novel triazole amino acids were synthesized as probes to investigate ligand-protein binding interactions of the neutral amino acid transporter SN1. The bonding hypothesis to be tested was that the side chains of endogenous substrates are acting as H-bond acceptors. Although limited inhibition of (3)H-L-glutamine uptake by SN1 expressing oocytes was observed, the synthetic compounds show a trend that suggests a hydrogen bond interaction just outside the endogenous ligand binding pocket.
