Twenty one chromogenic thiopeptolide substrates were designed and synthesized as the active site probes and analyzed with each S1 site of mutant residues and enzymes of wild-type MetAP1s. The preliminary enzymatic experiments indicate that cysteine 70 or 202, at either Escherichia coli or human MetAP1, played a crucial role in the methionine hydrolysis.
