Serine protease dynamics revealed by NMR analysis of the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex

Abstract Serine proteases catalyze a multi-step covalent catalytic mechanism of peptide bond cleavage. It has long been assumed that serine proteases including thrombin carry-out catalysis without significant conformational rearrangement of their stable two-β-barrel structure. We present nuclear mag...
