Now, a new study from Scripps Research demonstrates a proof of concept for a new strategy: engineering proteases—enzymes that cut proteins at specific sites—to selectively degrade these ...

Proteases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of the peptide and isopeptide bonds that join amino acids within proteins (known as proteolysis). Proteases can also remove protein post ...

1). Proteases cleave or degrade proteins with high specificity. Because one protease molecule can act on thousands of target proteins, even at low concentrations proteases can be major regulatory ...

proteases, migration, invasion, cytotoxicity, and more) and in vivo (trafficking, production and secretion of cytokines, chemokines, proteases, and more), patch-clamp electrophysiology on excitable ...

Certain orb web-weaving spiders recycle their web proteins despite the fact that some web fibers, namely major and minor ampullate silk, are highly resistant to common proteases. We have started a new ...
