Abstract excerpt
Many bioactive peptides require amidation of their carboxy terminus to exhibit full biological activity. Peptidylglycine alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM; EC 1.14.17.3), the enzyme that catalyzes the first of the two steps of this reaction, is composed of two domains, each of which binds on...
