Abstract excerpt
The virtue of the so-called 'proline concept' and the 'charge concept' for stabilizing protease-susceptible regions of a protein structure was compared on bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A. Alanine 20 and serine 21, both of which are located in a loop that is susceptible to the unspecific proteases subtilisin Carlsberg, subtilisin BPN', proteinase K and elastase, were replaced with proline or lysine by...
