Abstract excerpt
It is postulated that basic residues within the inhibitory region of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) bind acidic residues within the catalytic core to maintain the kinase in an inactive form. In this study, we identified residues within the catalytic cores of the skeletal and smooth muscle MLCKs that may bind basic residues in inhibitory region. Acidic residues within the catalytic core of the rabbit skeletal...
