The electrostatic interaction between the Br atom of the inhibitor and the OG of Thr 113 has an unusually short distance of 2.973(4) Å. The short contact between Br and Thr 113 OG explains the selectivity of IDD 594 towards AR, because in aldehyde reductase the Thr residue is replaced by Tyr....The IDD 594-Br/Thr 113-OG interaction also contributes to the potency of the inhibitor. Other halogens, such as chlorine, cannot engage in a similar interaction (due to its lower polarizability).
