Abstract excerpt
Parvulins compose a family of small peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases) involved in protein folding and protein quality control. A number of amino acids in the catalytic cavity are highly conserved, but their precise role within the catalytic mechanism is unknown. The 0.8 Å crystal structure of the prolyl isomerase domain of parvulin Par14 shows the electron density of hydrogen atoms between the D74, H42, H123,...
