Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) exists mainly at hippocampus and hydrolyses neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Many types of ligands have been produced to inhibit the activity of BChE. We here investigate the specific interactions between BChE and several types of ligands Kx, using ab initio fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations. The FMO calculations highlight the amino acid residues of BChE important for the binding between BChE and Kx. Based on the results, we propose some novel ligands and elucidate that one of the ligands can bind more strongly to BChE than Kx.
