Abstract excerpt
New hyperthermostable aminopeptidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii has acylamino acid releasing (deblocking) activity for acyl (blocked) peptides. Such an enzyme can be used for N-terminal sequencing of acyl peptides. To clarify the active site of the deblocking aminopeptidase, we prepared three mutants in which one of the three possible active site amino acid residues (Asp or Glu) was...
