==Overview==
Bile-salt activated lipase (BAL) is a pancreatic enzyme that digests a, variety of lipids in the small intestine. A distinct property of BAL is, its dependency on bile salts in hydrolyzing substrates of long acyl chains, or bulky alcoholic motifs. A crystal structure of the catalytic domain of, human BAL (residues 1-538) with two surface mutations (N186D and A298D), which were introduced in attempting to facilitate crystallization, has, been determined at 2.3 A resolution. The crystal form belongs to space, group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with one monomer per asymmetric unit, and the protein, shows an alpha/beta hydrolase fold. In the absence of bound bile salt, molecules, the protein possesses a preformed catalytic triad and a, functional oxyanion hole. Several surface loops around the active site are, mobile, including two loops potentially involved in substrate binding, (residues 115-125 and 270-285).
