TL;DR: A crystal structure of the human cytomegalovirus protease catalytic domain has been determined by X-ray diffraction and defines a new class of serine protease with respect to global-fold topology and has a catalytic triad consisting of Ser-132, His-63, and His-157 in contrast with the Ser-His-Asp triads found in otherserine proteases.
