Abstract excerpt
We have altered the amino acid at the center of the reactive site (methionine 73) of Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI) by site-directed and cassette mutagenesis. Replacement by lysine or arginine resulted in trypsin inhibitory activity, replacement only by lysine gave inhibition of lysyl endopeptidase, and replacement by tyrosine or tryptophan resulted in inhibition of alpha-chymotrypsin. The four mutant...
