Abstract excerpt
The substrate specificity of rat brain neurolysin was rapidly modified by semirational mutagenesis coupled with a yeast molecular display system. Neurolysin mainly recognizes substrates with sequential six residues close to the scissile bond in polypeptides, cleaving a peptide bond in the center position of the six residues. To alter the recognition of the P2' amino acid of substrates by neurolysin, six residues...
