Matrix metalloproteinase triple-helical peptidase activities are differentially regulated by substrate stability.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in physiological remodeling as well as pathological destruction of tissues. The turnover of the collagen triple-helical structure has been ascribed to several members of the MMP family, but the determinants for collagenolytic specificity have not been id...
