The RAMP2/CRLR complex is a functional adrenomedullin receptor in human endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells.

abstract：:Foot-and-mouth disease virus leader proteinase (L(pro)), a papain-like cysteine proteinase, has six acidic amino acids between 4 A and 11 A of the catalytic dyad of Cys51 and His148. In contrast, in papain and related enzymes, only one acidic residue lies within this distance. We have examined by site-directed mutagen...
