Abstract excerpt
Pin1, the only known isomerase catalyzing phosphorylated pSer/pThr-Pro motifs in proteins, plays unique roles in human diseases notably cancers and Alzheimer's disease. Herein, site-directed mutagenesis was employed to construct the tryptophan mutants of Pin1, including W11L, W34L, and W73L. Spectral methodologies, activity measurement, and proteinase resistance analysis were used to investigate the structural...
