From: Engineering of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases mutants as potential therapeutics
The surface structure of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1). The N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain are shown in light red and green, respectively. The region within 4 Å contact with the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) catalytic domain is shown in blue. Mutation sites coloured red modulate the selectivity of N-TIMP-1 against different MMPs. The image was prepared from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank entry (1UEA) using the Swiss PDB viewer [91].
