Abstract excerpt
This paper investigates the catalytic activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase using the bait region of the alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor as a substrate. The bacterial enzyme cleaves the Pro357-Met358 bond of the wild-type inhibitor and the recombinant Met358 inhibitor and the Pro357-Leu358 bond of the recombinant Met358-->Leu inhibitor with kcat/Km values of 9 x 10(4) M-1 s-1, 1.4 x 10(5) M-1 s-1 and 3.5 x...
