Note: Standard amino acids are included, plus “‐” to indicate an unoccupied site and “X” to indicate a nonstandard amino acid or other moiety. An amino acid that occupies a substrate‐binding site in 10% or more cleavages is highlighted in yellow. An amino acid that occupies a substrate‐binding site in less than 1% of cleavages is highlighted in orange.
