... finding of this study is that the bradykinin analogue mcaBk can still be cleaved efficiently after removal of the Tyr hydroxyls of Y6 05 and Y6 12 from the wild-type form of the enzyme, thus making ... K m with the single Tyr mutant. Molecular modeling and molecular dynamics indeed suggest that the Tyr605 hydroxyl is in close proximity to the carbonyl of the scissile pep...
