Kinetics of binding between thermolysin and Streptomyces metalloprotease inhibitor, talopeptin (MKI).

abstract：:A large number of prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic proteins are produced with amino terminal propeptides. These amino-terminal extensions are essential for mediating proper folding of their corresponding proteins and are also termed as intramolecular chaperones. Though these propeptides are highly specific and unique...
