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 A β-sheet and forms an extra fourth β strand . The serpin conformational change is key to the mechanism of inhibition of target proteases. <scene name='60/604473/Rcl_insertion_into_beta_sheet/1'>Some amino-acids of RCL</scene> wich belong to a consensus sequence for inhibitory serpins are thought to permit efficient and rapid insertion of the RCL into the A β-sheet.<ref> James C Whisstocka, 2, Richard Skinnera, 2, Robin W Carrella, Arthur M Leska, Conformational changes in serpins: I. the native and cleaved conformations of α1-antitrypsin1, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022283699935209 DOI:pii/S0022283699935209</ref> | 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.
