Specificity of a protein-protein interface: local dynamics direct substrate recognition of effector caspases.

Abstract excerpt

Proteases are prototypes of multispecific protein-protein interfaces. Proteases recognize and cleave protein and peptide substrates at a well-defined position in a substrate binding groove and a plethora of experimental techniques provide insights into their substrate recognition. We investigate the caspase family of cysteine proteases playing a key role in programmed cell death and inflammation, turning caspases...
