Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of the American Trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, contains
cysteine, serine, threonine, aspartyl and metallo peptidases. The most abundant among …

The action of proteases can be controlled by several mechanisms, including regulation
through gene expression; post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation; zymogen …

Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors from legume seeds have been characterized structurally. The
presence of Cys–Cys in single or double chains shows a new pattern of proteins structurally …

We investigated the functional and biochemical variability of Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI)
genes of Populus trichocarpa× Populus deltoides. Phylogenetic analysis, expressed …

Protease inhibitors (PIs) function as a natural adversary to proteolytic enzymes. They can
diminish or inhibit the catalytic properties of proteases, which are crucial for various tasks in …

Plants are essential for humans as they serve as a source of food, fuel, medicine, oils, and
more. The major elements that are utilized for our needs exist in storage organs, such as …

(1) There are several patients with asthma–COPD overlap (ACO). A peptide derived from the
primary sequence of a kallikrein inhibitor isolated from Bauhinia bauhinioides (pep-BbKI) …

This study was aimed at investigating the purification, biological activity, and some structural
properties of three serine protease inhibitors isoforms, denoted ApTIA, ApTIB, and ApTIC …

This review outlines known examples of the three-dimensional structures of protein
proteinase inhibitors from plants. Three families of enzymes, serine proteinases …

A potent serine proteinase inhibitor was isolated and characterized from the seeds of the
tropical legume liana, Derris trifoliata (DtTCI) by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion …
