Schlecht et al. recently demonstrated the inhibition of HSP70 and HSC70 (a constantly expressed isozyme of HSP70) using VER-155008, a compound that binds the nucleotide binding domain of these proteins and reduces their ATPase activity (Table 1).
In both cases, 5-10% DMSO decreased stacking interactions and increased local disorder in noncanonical residues within bulges and loops and resulted in 0.3-4-fold reduction in the measured binding affinities for different small molecules, with the greatest reduction observed for an intercalating compound that binds RNA nonspecifically.
