Abstract excerpt
The catalytic histidine of human neutrophil elastase was replaced with alanine (H57A) to determine if a substrate histidine could substitute for the missing catalytic group-'substrate-assisted catalysis'. H57A and wild-type elastase were recovered directly from Pichia pastoris following expression from a synthetic gene lacking the elastase pro sequence, thereby obviating the need for zymogen activation. Potential...
