Classification and catalytic center
Thermolysin is a well researched metallo protease containing zinc and several calcium atoms (yellow). The catalytic center consists of the HEXHH motif. Glu-166, His-142 and -146 are grouped around the zinc atom, holding it fast, while Glu-143 holds the polarized water atom. Additionally, Tyr-157 and His-231 stabilize the substrate.[1][2]
