Peptide-cleaving catalyst selective for peptide deformylase.
A peptide-cleaving catalyst selective for peptide deformylase (PDF) was obtained from a library containing about 15 000 catalyst candidates. The catalyst cleaved the polypeptide backbone of PDF at Gln(152)-Arg(153). Docking simulations suggested multiple modes of interactions in the complex formed between the catalyst and PDF.
