CATHSILICATEIN, A CHIMERA
Overview
Cathepsin L mutants with the ability to condense silica from solution have been generated and a 1.5 A crystal structure of one of these chimeras allows us to rationalise the catalytic mechanism of silicic acid condensation.
About this Structure
2VHS is a Single protein structure of sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
