Human stromelysin-1 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of enzymes. The active site glutamic acid of the MMPs is conserved throughout the family and plays a pivotal role in the catalytic mechanism. The structural and functional consequences of a glutamate to glutamine substitution in the active site of stromelysin-1 were investigated in this study ...
