Abstract excerpt
Residues in the active site loop of the serine protease inhibitor, chymotrypsin inhibitor 2, thought to play an important role in loop stability and inhibitory activity, have been investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Substitutions at residues 58 (threonine in wild type) and 60 (glutamic acid in wild type), which flank the scissile bond (Met-59-Glu-60) and are conserved among the potato inhibitor I family of...
