Abstract
Single amino acid mutations of Met103 in the hydrophobic core of a serine protease inhibitor, Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor, caused little change in the inhibitory activity, as measured by the inhibitor constant, although some altered the thermodynamic stability of the protein considerably. (1)H NMR investigations showed that the conformational stress caused by the replacement of Met103 with Gly, Ala, Val, and Ile, namely, the effects of the cavities generated by replacements with smaller side-chains and of the steric distortions generated by beta-branched side-chains, caused considerable changes in the structural arrangement of the side-chains within the core. However, these structural changes were absorbed within the hydrophobic core, without distorting the structure of the reactive site essential for the protein function. These results provide an excellent example of the conformational flexibility of a protein core and the degree of its tolerance of an amino acid replacement. The results also reveal the crucially designed structural relationship between the core of the inhibitor and the enzyme-binding segment with the reactive site in a serine protease inhibitor.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
