Abstract

(i) To contribute to understanding the ways in which binding interactions and remote ionisations determine catalytic site behaviour by stopped-flow kinetic analysis using systematic structural variation in a uniquely available series of time-dependent inhibitors ; (ii) to assess the extent to which 3D-structures of the enzymes predict variation in chemical behaviour in an enzyme family using selected cysteine proteinases as a testbed ; (iii) to begin to explore the effectiveness of specific binding interactions in active centre desolvation.
