Co-Catalytic Metallopeptidases as Pharmaceutical Targets [PDF]
, 2003 Understanding the reaction mechanism of co-catalytic metallopeptidases provides a starting point for the design and synthesis of new molecules that can be screened as potential pharmaceuticals. Many of the enzymes that contain co-catalytic metallo-active

Metallopeptidases of Toxoplasma gondii: in silico identification and gene expression
Parasite, 2018 Metallopeptidases are a family of proteins with domains that remain highly conserved throughout evolution. These hydrolases require divalent metal cation(s) to activate the water molecule in order to carry out their catalytic action on peptide bonds by ...
