Abstract excerpt
A photoaffinity probe, developed for the specific labeling of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) active sites, was recently shown to covalently modify a single residue in human MMP-12, namely, Lys(241), by reacting selectively with the side chain epsilon-amino group of that residue. The residue in position 241 of MMPs is not conserved; thus, variability in this position may be responsible for the dispersion in...
