Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 are closely related metalloproteinases that are implicated in angiogenesis. The two proteins have a similar domain structure and highly homologous catalytic domains, making them an excellent comparative model for understanding the structural basis of substrate recognition by the MMP family. Although the two MMPs exhibit some overlap in substrate recognition, our recent...
