Table 2.

Important residues found interacting with antipain in the structure of OPB [38]. The catalytic triad (Inline graphic), residues involved in the S1 (Inline graphic,Inline graphic), S2 (Inline graphic,Inline graphic) and S3 (Inline graphic) binding sites are highlighted and correspond to Figure 5. These residues are all conserved in OPB2.
