ABSTRACT
Crystal structure of the complex between porcine beta-trypsin and the second
domain of the Kazal-type ovomucoid turkey egg white trypsin inhibitor (OMTKY2)
has been determined at 1.9A resolution. A peptide fragment from the first domain
has been crystallized with the complex. Restrained-refinement of the structure
led to an R-factor of 0.19 for the 32206 reflections. OMTKY2 exhibits the
canonical Kazal-type fold with a central alpha-helix and a short two-stranded
anti-parallel beta-sheet. The carbonyl carbon of the reactive site prefers
trigonal geometry. The reactive site loop geometry of the inhibitor is
complementary to the surface and charge of the binding site in beta-trypsin.
