摘要
The observation that the acid proteases contain two structurally equivalent lobes related by a dyad through the active centre has been extended to show that in endothiapepsin each lobe contains two similar halves related by a further local dyad. In lobe 1 22 pairs of α-carbons are equivalent with a root mean square deviation of 1.92. Å. In lobe 2 17 pairs match within 2.31 Å. Convergent evolution or gene quadruplication may have occurred. © 1979.
