View Entry | Cytochrome structure with anticancer drug3326| This image shows the structure of the CYP17A1 enzyme (ribbons colored from blue N-terminus to red C-terminus), with the associated heme colored black. The prostate cancer drug abiraterone is colored gray. Cytochrome P450 enzymes bind to and metabolize a variety of chemicals, including drugs. Cytochrome P450 17A1 also helps create steroid hormones. Emily Scott's lab is studying how CYP17A1 could be selectively inhibited to treat prostate cancer. She and graduate student Natasha DeVore elucidated the structure shown using X-ray crystallography. Dr. Scott created the image (both white bg and transparent bg) for the NIGMS image gallery. See the "Medium-Resolution Image" for a PNG version of the image that is transparent. | | Public Note | | | | | Internal Note | | PERMISSION FOR IMAGE GALLERY

Thanks for your speedy response, Emily. This will work fine.
Since it's a large file and is free of copyright restrictions, would we be able to add it to the NIGMS image gallery (http://images.nigms.nih.gov/ ), where it will be available for anyone else to use for non-commercial purposes, provided they acknowledge you? Would we also be able to use the image in other printed and online
publications from my office? I'll send you the Findings write-up to check for accuracy in the next day or two.

Thanks again,

Dear Alisa,
We'd be very glad to provide an image for your use in Findings.Perhaps the attached would do? It is an image free of copyright restrictions that shows the CYP17A1 enzyme ribbons colored from blue N-terminus to red C-terminus) with the heme as black sticks and the prostate cancer drug abiraterone in grey sticks. The background is transparent for maximal flexibility in composition. This png file is a rather large and can be scaled as you like in terms of resolution and size. | | | Keywords | | | | | Source | | Emily Scott, University of Kansas | | | Date | | 2012-05-09 00:00:00 | | | Credit Line | | Emily Scott, University of Kansas | | | Investigator | | Emily Scott, University of Kansas | | | Record Type | | Illustration | | | Topic Area(s) | | ;#Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology;#Molecular Structures;#Tools and Techniques;# | | | Previous Uses | | Alisa requested this in spring 2012 for use in Findings. | | | Status | | Active | |
