Abstract excerpt
The molecular interactions driving reactive center loop (RCL) insertion are of considerable interest in gaining a better understanding of the serpin inhibitory mechanism. Previous studies have suggested that interactions in the proximal hinge/breach region may be critical determinants of RCL insertion in serpins. In this study, conformational and functional changes in plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2)...
