Structural and functional insights into caseinolytic proteases reveal an unprecedented regulation principle of their catalytic triad.

abstract：:Na+ channels in chick brain and heart have been directly compared by measuring binding of tritium-labeled saxitoxin ([3H]STX) to the two tissues under identical conditions. Maximum saturable uptake and toxin affinity were considerably less in chick heart than in chick brain, requiring the development of an assay metho...
