Type: | Family | Name: | Staphostatin A |
Description: | The staphostatin A polypeptide chain folds into a slightly deformed, eight-stranded beta-barrel, with strands beta-4 through beta-8 forming an antiparallel sheet while the N terminus forms a psi-loop motif. Members of this family constitute a class of cysteine protease inhibitors distinct in the fold and the mechanism of action from any known inhibitors of these enzymes []. | Short Name: | Staphostatin_A |
