Catch me if you can: The ClpP protease mediates protein homeostasis and can be efficiently inhibited by β-lactones. A combination of molecular docking, mutagenesis, activity-based protein profiling, and kinetics studies now reveals the mechanism of ClpP inhibition. A hydrophobic pocket next to the active site allows binding of long aliphatic and aromatic residues. The preferred stereoisomer binds into the oxyanion hole.
