Abstract excerpt
The serpin conformational change by insertion of the reactive center loop into beta-sheet A plays a central role in multiple physiological consequences such as serine proteinase inhibition, latency and serpinopathic polymerization. To study the dynamic mechanism for the loop insertion, a novel kinetic method was established utilizing the ovalbumin mutant R339T/A352R; the loop insertion progressed after the...
