Peptide-Based Selective Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinase-Mediated Activities
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) exhibit a broad array of activities, some catalytic and some non-catalytic in nature. An overall lack of selectivity has rendered small molecule, active site targeted MMP inhibitors problematic in execution ...
