Schematic of cysteine redox chemistry used in this study. The cysteine substituted and non-cross-linked protease is flexible and as active as WT enzyme. Upon oxidation of cysteines, protease gets cross-linked via disulfide bond. Resulting loss of hydrophobic core flexibility is accompanied by loss of catalytic activity that is reversible upon reduction of the disulfide bond.
