Introduction
Structure
The from FMDV is a cysteine protease and constitutes a virulent factor during FMDV infection. It is the first protein that is translated from the growing polyprotein and upon translation frees itself by self cleavage.This self-processing event is believed to occurred intramolecularly due to the presence of a flexible CTE is composed of 18 amino acid residues and presumably can fold back into its own . Lbpro contains an domain on the left and a predominantly domain on the right.
