The crystal structure was solved by use of molecular replacement method and refined by use of molecular dynamic method at 0 25 nm to an R factor of 18.15% with standard deviations from standard geometry of 0.001 6 nm and 2.04° for bond lengths and bond angles, respectively. Comparison with two other PAPs revealed, near the active center, a sequence and structure variable region, consisting of the loop connecting the fifth β strand with the second α helix and including a proposed active residue, suggesting this loop probably to be related to difference in activity.展开更多
