A reasonable therapeutic strategy may be to suppress the aggregation of these proteins using compounds that inhibit their corresponding proteases.
Extracellular matrix : a tool for defining the extracorporeal function of parasite proteases.
Multiple proteases may also be involved in the degradation of the many protein precursors found in the developing seed.
Specific binding of normal prion protein to the scrapie form via a localized domain initiates its conversion to the protease-resistant state.
Alternative protein supplements were tested to determine possible specificity in the elicitation of these proteases.
These observations may explain the increasing attention addressed to cysteine proteases of parasites.
Some of the transcripts identified in this study are obvious choices, such as potential virulence factors, including proteases and various allergen-related proteins.
The serine protease inhibitor canonical loop conformation : examples found in extracellular hydrolases, toxins, cytokines and viral proteins.
