The specificity of the DPP IV in its ability to discern the proline from other amino acids can be seen in the binding pocket, where two glutamates, <scene name='57/573132/1x70_glutamates/1'>Glu205-Glu206</scene>, fill space, allowing only small residues like proline or alanine to fit. <ref name="Gorrell">PMID: 15584901</ref> Examples of DPP IV substrates with alanine or proline at their N-terminus are: | The specificity of the DPP IV in its ability to discern the proline from other amino acids can be seen in the binding pocket, where two glutamates, <scene name='57/573132/1x70_glutamates/1'>Glu205-Glu206</scene>, fill space, allowing only small residues like proline or alanine to fit. The glutamates form a salt bridge with the N-terminus, positioning the substrate so that only two amino acids can fit into position for hydrolyses. <ref name="Gorrell">PMID: 15584901</ref> Examples of DPP IV substrates with alanine or proline at their N-terminus are: | ||
