'''CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A CARICAIN D158E MUTANT IN COMPLEX WITH E-64'''<br />

==Overview==
The structure of the D158E mutant of caricain (previously known as papaya, protease omega) in complex with E-64 has been determined at 2.0 A, resolution (overall R factor 19.3%). The structure reveals that the, substituted glutamate makes the same pattern of hydrogen bonds as the, aspartate in native caricain. This was not anticipated since in the native, structure there is insufficient room to accommodate the glutamate side, chain. The glutamate is accommodated in the mutant by a local expansion of, the structure demonstrating that small structural changes are responsible, for the change in activity.

==About this Structure==
1MEG is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_protein Single protein]] structure of sequence from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carica_papaya Carica papaya]] with E64 and EOH as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ligands ligands]]. Active as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ]], with EC number [[http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/php/result_flat.php4?ecno=3.4.22.30 3.4.22.30]].
