Abstract excerpt
The active site glutamate, Glu 309, of the puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase was mutated to glutamine, alanine, and valine. These mutants were characterized with amino acid beta-naphthylamides as substrates and dynorphin A(1-9) as an alternate substrate inhibitor. Conversion of glutamate 309 to...
