Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrates that the catalytic mechanism of picornavirus 3C cysteine proteases is closely related to that of cellular trypsin-like serine proteases.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports mechanistic homology of 3C to serine proteases; extends biochemical models but leaves open therapeutic translation.
Cheah et al. (1990) studied this question.
