Structure‐Function of Falcipains: Malarial Cysteine Proteases
Evidence indicates that cysteine proteases play essential role in malaria parasites; therefore an obvious area of investigation is the inhibition of these enzymes to treat malaria. Studies with cysteine protease inhibitors and manipulating cysteine proteases genes have suggested a role for cysteine proteases in hemoglobin hydrolysis.

Electrochemical Multicomponent Synthesis of Alkyl Alkenesulfonates using Styrenes, SO2 and Alcohols
A first of its kind electrochemical approach for the direct synthesis of alkyl alkenesulfonates using styrenes, SO2 stock solution and alcohols was developed. The reaction features the in‐situ generation of a monoalkylsulfite species with subsequent radical addition to an anodically oxidized styrene substrate.

Kinetic Studies of Potent Thiosemicarbazone Inhibitors of Cruzain
Cruzain, a cathepsin L‐ and B‐like enzyme, is the major cysteine protease from Trypanosoma cruzi , the causative agent of Chagas' disease which is a major public health problem in Latin America. Previously, we reported a small library of thiosemicarbazone derivatives as inhibitors of cruzain.
