Abstract excerpt
The propeptide of subtilisin BPN', which functions as an intramolecular chaperone and a temporary inhibitor of subtilisin, is unique in that it acquires its three-dimensional structure by formation of a complex with the cognate protease. We previously showed that the successive amino acid replacements Ala47-->Phe, Gly13-->Ile, and Val65-->Ile in the propeptide to increase its hydrophobicity resulted in formation...
