Thermolysin is a well researched | Thermolysin is a well researched [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallopeptidase metalloprotease] containing <scene name='User:Ralf_Stephan/Sandbox_2/Zinc/2'>zinc</scene> and the amino acids His-Glu-X-His-His as its catalytic center. <scene name='User:Ralf_Stephan/Sandbox_2/Res_yellow/3'>Glu-166, His-142 and -146 are grouped around the zinc atom</scene>, holding it fast, while <scene name='User:Ralf_Stephan/Sandbox_2/Res/1'>Glu-143 holds the polarized water atom. Additionally, Tyr-157 and His-231</scene> stabilize the substrate protein which will be cleaved into two smaller proteins.<ref>Matthews, BW.
