Hello all,
I am aware that serine proteases seem to have a specific Xenon binding
site at the active site, as a few such cases have been reported. I was
wondering if anyone has heard if cysteine proteases, such as papain,
which have a very similar active site to the serine proteases, also have
a xenon-binding capability at the active site. If so, which proteins
are they?
Sincerely,
