Cysteine Protease In subject area: Neuroscience Cysteine proteases are a type of proteases that use a covalent mechanism involving the formation of a thioester bond between the active site cysteine and the carboxyl group of the cleaved peptide bond. ...
Cysteine proteases have a common catalytic mechanism that involves a nucleophilic cysteine thiol in a catalytic dyad. The first step is deprotonation of a thiol in the enzyme's active site by an adjacent amino acid with a basic side chain, usually a histidine residue. The next step is ...
An overwhelming majority ofprotein inhibitorsof serine proteinases work by the so-called substrate-like mechanism, where the inhibitor acts as a highly specificenzyme substrateexposed to slow limitedproteolysis. Theprimary structureof inhibitor I from potato is similar to the inhibitors from some other ...
Parallel solution-phase synthesis of mechanism-based cysteine protease inhibitors ChemInform is a weekly Abstracting Service, delivering concise information at a glance that was extracted from about 100 leading journals. To access a Chem... A Lee,JA Ellman - 《Organic Letters》 被引量: 73发表: 20...
EcpA is an extracellular cysteine protease protein involved in biofilm formation on medical devices. Thus, blocking this mechanism may be viable for developing a drug against S. epidermidis. The current research aimed to find new, potent inhibitors that could stop the S. epidermidis EcpA protein ...

Extracellular matrix remodeling is an important mechanism in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Cysteine protease cathepsins are among the important proteases that affect major events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm, including smooth muscle cell trans...
Cysteine proteases (CPs) are a subclass of enzymes classified within the broader protease family. They have cysteine residue at their active site, which plays a pivotal function in their catalytic mechanism. Various types of inhibitors like covalent inhibitors, reversible competitive inhibitors non...
Cysteine protease (Wikipedia). Cysteine proteases are commonly found in fruits, such as papaya, pineapple, fig, and kiwifruit. A good example of cysteine protease is papain, which is found in the papaya fruit, The catalytic mechanism used by this enzyme for the hydrolysis of the peptide bond ...
The structure of the cysteine protease and lectin‐like domains of Cwp84, a surface layer‐associated protein from Clostridium difficile Clostridium difficile is a major problem as an aetiological agent for antibiotic‐associated diarrhoea. The mechanism by which the bacterium colonizes the ... WJ Bra...
