We have measured the P1-specificity of aqualysin I, using wild-type and five P1-substituted derivatives of Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI). SSIs efficiently inhibited the activity of aqualysin I, with low substrate specificity. Charge and hydrophobicity of side chain of the P1 amino acid residue showed no significant effect to the P1-specificity of this enzyme.Read More
