Alpha-lytic protease

Revision as of 11:30, 6 March 2019 by Michal Harel (talk | contribs)


Alpha-lytic protease (ALP) is a bacterial serine protease of the chymotrypsin family. ALP is a two-domain enzyme. One domain is a large pro region (residues 1-199) that catalyzes the folding of the protease. The second domain is the protease domain (residues 200-397).[1]
