Structural studies on serpins revealed that inhibitory members of the family undergo an unusual conformational change, termed the Stressed to Relaxed (S to R) transition. During this structural transition the <scene name='60/604473/The_rcl_loop_scene/3'>RCL</scene> inserts into β-sheet A and forms an extra fourth β strand . The serpin conformational change is key to the mechanism of inhibition of target proteases.

When a protease attack a substrate, it catalyze peptide bond cleavage in a two-step process. First, the catalytic serine or cysteine performs a nucleophilic attack on the peptide bond of the substrate. This forms an new bond between the enzyme and the substrate. This covalent enzyme-substrate complex is called an acyl enzyme intermediate. Then, this bond is hydrolyzed and the C-terminus is released.
