title: First bite.
abstract: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV contributes to the regulation of many physiological processes, most notably blood sugar homeostasis, by biting a dipeptide off the N terminus of specific peptides. A structure of this peptidase in complex with an inhibitor will assist efforts to regulate this regulator.
