What is Inteins as Enzyme about?
The term "self-catalyzed" as applied to protein processing reactions might be considered a contradiction, since catalysis implies that the catalyst is regenerated without change. However, as our understanding of protein autoprocessing reactions such as protein splicing advances, it is becoming clear that they have many of the hallmarks of enzymatic reactions. In this review, we will examine the properties of protein splicing elements, or inteins, and show how these can be understood in terms of enzyme catalysis, both with respect to substrate specificity and the stabilization of reactive intermediates.
