Because of the ubiquity of cysteine proteases in both protozoan and helminth parasites, they represent attractive targets for anti-parasitic drug development.
Several protease inhibitors were also tested under these conditions.
Indeed, inhibition was higher when protease inhibitors were tested separately.
Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in maternal serum throughout gestation and in the puerperium: effects of a pregnancy-associated serum protease activity.
After destaining, proteases were located as clear bands in a blue background.
The third step is acquisition of protease resistance and takes place several hours after acquisition of detergent insolubility.
Mammalian cell death proteases: a family of highly conserved aspartate specific cysteine proteins.
The serine protease inhibitor canonical loop conformation : examples found in extracellular hydrolases, toxins, cytokines and viral proteins.
