- | The protein being studied in this article is KGP. This cysteine peptidase is a major virulence factor for the periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. KGP works by cleaving many constituents of human connective tissue which leads to decreased bacterial activity and chronic inflammation in the gums. It contains a catalytic triad of cysteine histidine and aspartic acid. The histidine and aspartic acid residues in the catalytic triad use acid base chemistry catalysis to form a covalent intermediate with the cysteine. The intermediate formed is L-lysinylmethyl which is found in the specificity pocket. | + | The protein being studied in this article is KGP.
