Protein engineering of human tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) using active site of plant-cuscutain enzyme to increase its permanent and activity [PDF]
tPA is a fibrinolitic agent that cause dissolves of blood clots and used in stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Cuscutain is a stable and highly active protease in plants such as dodder, and parasite plants using this enzyme to penetrate into host ...

Zymography: developing of the enzyme soil activity visualization method
The enzymes produced by the soil biota are a key link in the regulation of biochemical processes. The soil enzyme activity can be visualized with zymography, a method based on using fluorescent substrates and obtaining two-dimensional images (zymograms).

Detection of Matrix Metalloproteinases by Zymography [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) represent more than 20 zinc-containing endopeptidases that cleave internal peptide bonds, leading to protein degradation. They play a critical role in many physiological cell functions, including tissue remodeling, embryogenesis, and angiogenesis.

Detection of Functional Matrix Metalloproteinases by Zymography [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-containing endopeptidases. They degrade proteins by cleavage of peptide bonds. More than twenty MMPs have been identified and are separated into six groups based on their structure and substrate specificity (collagenases, gelatinases, membrane type [MT-MMP], stromelysins, matrilysins, and others).
