Block-based characterization of protease specificity from substrate sequence profile

Abstract Background The mechanism of action of proteases has been widely studied based on substrate specificity. Prior research has been focused on the amino acids at a single amino acid site, but rarely on combinations of amino acids around the cleavage bond. Results We propose a novel block-based...
