Conformational Ensembles Reveal the Origins of Serine Protease Catalysis
Siyuan Du, Rachael C. Kretsch, Jacob Parres-Gold…·Daniel Herschlag
Ensemble-function analyses provide a quantitative model for serine protease catalysis, reveal previously unknown conformational features that contribute to their catalysis, and identify a structural motif that underlie these features and has evolved in >100 different enzymes from 32 protein folds.
