Abstract excerpt
Staphylokinase (Sak), a 15.5-kDa bacterial protein, forms a complex with human plasmin, which in turn activates other plasminogen molecules to plasmin. Three recombinant DNA-based approaches, (i) site directed substitution with alanine, (ii) search for proximity relationships at the complex interface, and (iii) active-site accessibility to protease inhibitors have been used to deduce a coherent docking model of...
