Structures of a protease inhibitor A2ML1 (IMAGE)
Caption
Scientists have determined the structures of a protease inhibitor called A2ML1 that is found in human skin. The new results reveal how a large conformational rearrangement in A2ML1 allow it to trap a protease and prevent it from cleaving substrates.
