NQO1 active site is incompatible with imatinib binding. A) Model of imatinib in the active site of NQO1. The model was generated by superimposing the structure of human NQO1 (PDB ID 1D4A) onto the structure of the NQO2-imatinib complex. Imatinib (blue) is shown as a CPK model, while NQO1 is shown in surface and cartoon representations, with the FAD cofactor and selected residues depicted as stick figures. The imatinib rings are lettered as in Figure 1A. Potential clashes between NQO1 residues and imatinib are highlighted in yellow.
