Preliminary investigations on the serine and aspartic protease inhibitors from Nothopegia beddomei

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2019
Aqueous stem bark extract of Nothopegia beddomei was assayed for serine and aspartic protease inhibitors by using trypsin and pepsin as the target enzymes, respectively. Crude bark extract was dialyzed and subjected to inhibition assays.

Paradigm of biased PAR1 (protease-activated receptor-1) activation and inhibition in endothelial cells dissected by phosphoproteomics [PDF]

, 2017
Thrombin is the key serine protease of the coagulation cascade and mediates cellular responses by activation of PARs (protease-activated receptors). The predominant thrombin receptor is PAR1, and in endothelial cells (ECs), thrombin dynamically regulates

The purification and characterisation of novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like activity from bovine serum [PDF]

, 2004
The discovery of a potentially novel proline-specific peptidase from bovine serum is presented which is capable of cleaving the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV) substrate Gly-Pro-MCA.

Evaluation of polyphenols from Broussonetia papyrifera as coronavirus protease inhibitors

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
The current study was designed to assess the inhibitory activity of Broussonetia papyrifera-derived polyphenols against 3-chymotrypsin-like and papain-like coronavirus cysteine proteases. The isolated compounds were broussochalcone B (1), broussochalcone

Restriction of Viral Glycoprotein Maturation by Cellular Protease Inhibitors

Viruses
The human genome is estimated to encode more than 500 proteases performing a wide range of important physiological functions. They digest proteins in our food, determine the activity of hormones, induce cell death and regulate blood clotting, for example.

A folding inhibitor of the HIV-1 Protease

, 2005
Being the HIV-1 Protease (HIV-1-PR) an essential enzyme in the viral life cycle, its inhibition can control AIDS. The folding of single domain proteins, like each of the monomers forming the HIV-1-PR homodimer, is controlled by local elementary ...
