Abstract excerpt
The pepsin-like aspartyl proteases consist of a single polypeptide chain with topologically similar amino- and carboxyl-terminal domains, each of which contributes 1 aspartic acid residue to the active site. This structure has been proposed to have evolved by gene duplication and fusion from a di...
