Abstract excerpt
The prolyl isomerase activity of cyclophilins is traditionally measured by an assay in which prolyl cis/trans isomerization in a chromogenic tetrapeptide is coupled with its isomer-specific cleavage by chymotrypsin. Two variants of mitochondrial cyclophilin with substitutions in the presumed active site (R73A and H144Q) are inactive in the protease-coupled assay, but show almost wild-type activity in an assay...
