Full text Abstract
Figure 2.
Figure 2. The alpha carbon trace for cruzain (green) and papain (pink) which have been optimally superim- posed, is shown for the region of the Cys153-Cys200 disulfide bond. Neighboring insertions and del- etions in the 2 proteins shift the position of this conserved disulfide bond. The side-chains for the cys- teine residues are shown in yellow and the catalytic triad is shown for papain.

Figure 3. Equivalent view of the cruzain (right) and papain (left) S2 substrate binding sites with Z-Phe- Ala-FMK bound. The Z moiety has been deleted to better show the interactions made with the proteases by Phe at P2 of the inhibitor. Atoms of cruzain and papain are shown with solvent accessible surfaces while the inhibitor is shown as a solid surface rendering in pink. There is a 60° rotation of the Phe side-chain in cruzain relative to papain. The 5 residues which comprise S2 differ in the 2 enzymes. Papain makes twice as many van der Waals contacts with Phe as cruzain does.
