Abstract
The serpins are a family of proteins that inhibit chymotrypsin-like serine proteinases, with an unusual mechanism involving a large conformational change known as the stressed-->relaxed (S-->R) transition. This article is a guide to the known serpin conformations and their biological significance.Mesh:
