Abstract excerpt
The proteinase 2A of human rhinovirus 2 is a cysteine proteinase which contains a tightly bound Zn ion thought to be required for structural integrity. A three-dimensional model for human rhinovirus type 2 proteinase 2A (HRV2 2A) was established using sequence alignments with small trypsin-like Ser-proteinases and, for certain regions, elastase. The model was tested by expressing selected proteinase 2A mutants in...
