Abstract
Comparison of amino acid sequence data suggested that there may be a functional relationship between the staphylococcal epidermolytic toxins and V8 proteinase. The hypothesis was tested by treating epidermolytic toxin with di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate, which bound specifically at serine-195, the homologue of the active-site serine residue of V8 proteinase.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
