The active site of an inducible arylacylamidase from Pseudomonas acidovorans.

Though very effectively ibhibited by both SH-group directed reagents and inhibitors typical for serine hydrolases, the inducible arylacylamidase from Pseudomonas acidovarans is a serine enzyme rather than a sulfhydryl enzyme. The amino acid sequence around the reactive serine residue is Gly-Ser-Ile. The sequence of a larger peptide from the active site is described.
