摘要
Mechanistic... Much has been learned about inteins. Finding multiple inteins coupled with mutagenic studies highlighted conserved functionally important amino acid residues. The relevance of the splice junction amino acid residues became clear with the determination of the protein splicing mechanism. Crystal structures, kinetic studies, and the discovery of an inhibitor further added to the understanding of inteins and the splicing reaction.
