Modulation of the enzymatic activity of papain by interdomain residues remote from the active site
1994
The two main catalytic residue Cys25 and His159 of the monomeric cysteine protease papain are located on different walls of a cleft formed by two domains. This topology suggests a possible relationship between relative domain organization and catalytic mechanism. The effect on enzymatic parameters of structural modifications at various locations of the two-domain interface of papain was examined by individual or double replacements by Ala of pairs of interacting residues. Most modifications had no effect on enzyme activity
