Hello all!

    I was wondering if there are any references which affirm or disprove the
following idea:

    Proline isomerases, because they make proline unstable by isomerizing it
between the trans
    and cis conformation, can exhibit a protolytic effect (i.e., cause the break
down of
    proline-rich proteins).

Does anyone know if this is "true", or the correct (or more appropriate) forum to
ask this question in?

    Thanks,
            Ray Crawford.
