Title Structure of chymopapain M the late-eluted chymopapain deduced by comparative modelling techniques and active-centre characteristics determined by pH-dependent kinetics of catalysis and reactions with time-dependent inhibitors: the Cys-25/His-159 ion-pair is insufficient for catalytic competence in both chymopapain M and papain.

Comments
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family-C1.
The paper [2] annotated the catalytic residues as Cys25, His159, and Asn179. Moreover, the active site can be superimposed onto other cysteine protease, such as cathepsin B, which suggests that Gln19 might form an oxyanion hole together with mainchan amide of Cys25.
