To the left is the hydrophobic binding pocket of Carboxypeptidase A in ''B. taurus,'' one of the molecules most important structural features. This binding pocket is the site at which C-terminal side chain of the substrate binds. It is formed by amino acid residues I243, I247, A250, G252, G253, S254 and I255. | |||
Nearby, there is also Y198 which serves as the recognition site for the sidechain next to the C-terminal residue. | Nearby, there is also Y198 which serves as the recognition site for the sidechain next to the C-terminal residue. | ||
