Abstract excerpt
Winged bean chymotrypsin inhibitor (WCI) has an intruding residue Asn14 that plays a crucial role in stabilizing the reactive site loop conformation. This residue is found to be conserved in the Kunitz (STI) family of serine protease inhibitors. To understand the contribution of this scaffolding residue on the stability of the reactive site loop, it was mutated in silico to Gly, Ala, Ser, Thr, Leu and Val and...
