Influence of Mutations of Conserved Arginines on Neuropeptide Binding in the DPP III Active Site
Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III), a zinc exopeptidase, is involved in the final steps of intercellular protein degradation and has a marked affinity for opioid peptides such as enkephalins and endomorphins. Recently, we characterized a number of neuropeptides as potential substrates and inhibitors...
