Abstract excerpt
Five recombinant hairpin loop variants of chicken cystatin (delta V55, delta V55-S56, delta P103-L105, delta I102-Q107, loop2-KD2) were constructed by cassette mutagenesis, expressed in E. coli, purified to homogeneity, characterized by protein-chemical means and by their inhibitory properties. The variant forms, modified in two of the three postulated cysteine proteinase binding regions, were inhibitorily...
