Abstract
The structure of a specific acyl-enzyme intermediate in the elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of N-carbobenzoxy-L-alanyl-p-nitrophenol ester has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 3.5 Å resolution. The acyl-enzyme was stabilised by cooling the crystal to −55°C during substrate addition and data collection.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
