Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is a multifunctional type II transmembrane serine protease glycoprotein. The high-resolution crystal structure of the homodimeric human apo dipeptidyl peptidase IV has been determined at 1.9 A resolution. In addition, the structure of the binary complex with 1-[([2-[(5-iodopyridin-2-yl)amino]-ethyl]amino)-acetyl]-2-cyano-(S)-pyrrolidine has been solved, revealing the nature of the covalent interaction with the active-site serine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
