Abstract excerpt
Ecotin is a dimeric serine protease inhibitor from Escherichia coli which binds proteases to form a hetero-tetramer with three distinct interfaces: an ecotin-ecotin dimer interface, a larger primary ecotin-protease interface, and a smaller secondary ecotin-protease interface. The contributions of these interfaces to binding and inhibition are unequal. To investigate the contribution and adaptability of each...
