Abstract excerpt
The Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are a family of proteins that share a canonical loop structure whose presence in a conserved conformation is linked to their inhibitory activity. We study the conformational properties of the canonical loop using a graph theoretical approach as implemented in the floppy inclusions and rigid substructure topography (FIRST). We find that the canonical loop is an independent rigid...
