Abstract excerpt
Barnase, a small extracellular ribonuclease from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its intracellular inhibitor barstar have co-evolved to bind tightly and rapidly. Barnase has also evolved to be catalytically active. The active site of barnase and its binding site for barstar use the same subset of amino acids. The exception is Glu73 (the general base in catalysis), which although located at the centre of the...
