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.

Subtilisin is a protease that initiates the nucleophillic attack on the peptide bond through a serine residue at the active site. It is a 275 residue globular protein with several alpha-helices and a large beta sheet. It's active site is composed of three amino acids, serine, aspartate, and histidine. This is known as a catalytic triad. Which works to break peptide bonds on polypeptides.

Replace the PDB id (use lowercase!) after the STRUCTURE_ and after PDB= to load and display another structure.
