| Abstract | ||
| The structure of a specific acyl-enzyme intermediate in the elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of N-carbobenzoxy-L-alanyl-p-nitrophenol ester has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 3.5 A resolution. The acyl-enzyme was stabilised by cooling the crystal to --55 degrees C during substrate addition and data collection. | ||
