Glycosylated penicillopepsin complex with peptide analog and sulfate, 1ppm Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Penicillopepsin (PP) is a proteinase with a broad spectrum of substrates. PP prefers hydrophobic residues at P1 and P1’ sites. PP is a member of the aspartic proteinase family. Its extended binding site cleft can bind at least 7 amino acids[1]. Relevance PP causes clotting in milk and activates trypsinogen. Structural highlights . .
