Abstract excerpt
Seven active site variants of human alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) were produced in Escherichia coli following site-specific mutagenesis of the alpha 1AT complementary DNA. alpha 1AT (Ala358), alpha 1AT (Ile358) and alpha 1AT (Val358) were efficient inhibitors of both neutrophil and pancreatic elastases, but not of cathepsin G. alpha 1AT (Ala356, Val358) and alpha 1AT (Phe358) specifically inhibited pancreatic...
