Hereditary angioneurotic edema is caused by a deficiency in one antagonist of these proteins, C1INH, and the nerve gas sarin binds to the active site of a closely related protein.
Schechter and Berger mapped the active site of these enzymes, and MEROPS groups them into twelve clans and forty families. Hereditary angioneurotic edema is caused by a deficiency in one antagonist of these proteins, C1INH, and the nerve gas sarin binds to the active site of a closely related protein. Subtilisin is an example found in bacteria and makes up forty percent of commercial enzyme sales. One of these molecules is activated by IgM binding to a complex containing it and cleaves C4 and C2; that example is activated C1s. These proteins are important during blood clotting, where examples include factor X and thrombin, while examples in the digestive system includ trypsin and elastase. These proteins, which are inhibited by serpins, typically have a catalytic triad including aspartate, histidine, and their namesake. For 10 points, name this class of enzymes which cleave other proteins at their namesake residue.
