Cryo-EM structures reveal the activation and substrate recognition mechanism of human enteropeptidase

Dysfunction of enteropeptidase (EP) can result in pancreatitis, a life-threatening disease. Yang et al. report a series of EP structures representing the EP catalytic cycle and propose a mechanistic model of enzyme function.
