We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

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.
