Mr. Stabile et al., PROBING THE SPECIFICITY OF THE S-1 BINDING-SITE OF M222 MUTANTS OF SUBTILISIN B-LENTUS WITH BORONIC ACID INHIBITORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(21), 1996, pp. 2501-2506
Specificity differences between the S-1-pockets of subtilisin B. lentu
s (SBL), and its M222C/S mutants have been explored with boronic acid
inhibitors. Similar binding trends were noted, with 2,4-dichlorophenyl
boronic acid being the best overall inhibitor for each enzyme. In addi
tion, a correlation between inhibitor binding and the electrophilicity
of boron was found for both the M222C and M222S enzymes. Copyright (C
