STRUCTURAL PLASTICITY AS A DETERMINANT OF ENZYME SPECIFICITY. CREATING BROADLY SPECIFIC PROTEASES
Overview
The substrate specificity of alpha-lytic protease has been changed dramatically, with a concomitant increase in activity, by replacing an active-site Met with Ala. The substrate specificity of both this mutant and another similar mutant are extraordinarily broad. X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that structural plasticity, a combination of alternate side-chain conformations and binding-site flexibility, allows both large and small substrates to be well accommodated.
About this Structure
1P09 is a Single protein structure of sequence from Lysobacter enzymogenes. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
