Figure 1. Structure of fire ant chymotrypsin C1. Stereo view of the 1.7 Å resolution structure of C1 superimposed on bovine aC (root mean square deviation 5.4 Å) shows the structural similarities and differences of their peptide scaffolds. The active site tetrad is shown, the aC propeptide is blue; peptide substrates bind from left (N terminus) to right. The arrowhead points to the backbone of residues 147-148. All structural Figures were created using program SPOCK [Christopher 1998].
