Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces metalloproteinase inhibitor (SMPI) is the only inhibitor to show "standard mechanism inhibition" against metalloproteinases. SMPI is a globular protein with an exposed loop containing the reactive site, C64-V65. To analyze the importance of basic residues in the reactive site loop of SMPI, mutants were constructed for R60, K61, and R66 (R60A, K61A, R66A, R60/K61A, 60/61/66A, and 60/61/66E). The...
