Dear CCLers,
working on the steroid 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, I recently found a paper
("Modeling Steroid 5alpha-reductase and Characterizing Its Potential Active
Sites", Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry 2012, 31, 1618-1626) that
describes a homology model of this protein and reports a PDBID (I523) for its
structure. Unfortunately, this ID does not correspond to any PDB entry (its
format is unusual among PDB codes).
Morevoer, the corresponding author of this paper (LI Jun-Qian, College of
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350002, China) did
not reply to my email messages requiring a pdb file of the structure.
Given these unsuccessful attempts, I ask whether anyone has in her/his hands the
homology model structure built by Li or the structure of the same enzyme
obtained by means of experimental or theoretical approaches.
Thank you for your collaboration.
Regards,
Fabrizio
