Matrix metalloproteinases: A double edge sword
Dentistry and Medical Research, 2016 Dental caries is a dynamic process which results in demineralization of inorganic constituents and destruction of organic structure of the tooth. The basic mechanism of inorganic demineralization has been studied and documented well enough.

Presence and expression of hydrogenase specific C-terminal endopeptidases in cyanobacteria
BMC Microbiology, 2003 Background Hydrogenases catalyze the simplest of all chemical reactions: the reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen or vice versa. Cyanobacteria can express an uptake, a bidirectional or both NiFe-hydrogenases.

Activity Gel Analysis of Endopeptidases in Rose Petals
Horticultural Plant Journal, 2016 Poor resolution for the identification of endopeptidase (EP) activity in activity gel assays is a critical issue in the analysis of the postharvest physiology of rose petals. In this paper, major factors influencing EP activity gel assays were evaluated.

Plant Viral Proteases: Beyond the Role of Peptide Cutters
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Almost half of known plant viral species rely on proteolytic cleavages as key co- and post-translational modifications throughout their infection cycle. Most of these viruses encode their own endopeptidases, proteases with high substrate specificity that

Frozen fresh blood plasma preserves the functionality of native human α2-macroglobulin
Scientific Reports, 2023 Human α2-macroglobulin (hα2M) is a large homotetrameric protein involved in the broad inhibition of endopeptidases. Following cleavage within a bait region, hα2M undergoes stepwise transitions from its native, expanded, highly flexible, active ...
