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
