Proteases are a class of enzymes that hydrolyze proteins, breaking them down into smaller peptides and amino acids (Aguilar and Sato 2018; Razzaq et al. 2019). Depending on the peptide bond hydrolyzed, proteases can be divided into exopeptidases, which cleave the N- or C-terminal peptide bon...
Proteases, also known as peptidases, are a large class of enzymes that play key roles in protein activation, cell regulation and signaling, as well as in the generation of amino acids for protein synthesis or utilization in other metabolic pathways. Proteases primarily act as catalysts in proteoly...
Aspartic proteases are a relatively small group of proteolytic enzymes that are active in acidic environments and are found across all forms of life. Certain microorganisms secrete such proteases as virulence agents and/or in order to break down proteins thereby liberating assimilable sources of nitroge...
Cellulose is one of the most abundant organic molecules in the biosphere, but most animals lack the enzymes needed to break it down. Nevertheless, some animals can digest a diet high in cellulose because: a. cellulose provides essent...
Proteins are digested by enzymes made by a. the mouth, stomach, and colon. b. the stomach, liver, and small intestine. c. the small intestine, mouth, and liver. d. the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. Which of these ...
species can oxidize small molecules and metabolites, proteins, lipid membranes, and DNA resulting in parasite damage. Under these conditions free hemin may also inactivate enzymes such as papain-like cysteine proteases that are essential for parasite survival and growth....

The G1 sub-family mainly includes enzymes that are found in plant pathogens. Scytalidoglutamic peptidase or eqolisin is the representative member of the G1 sub-family, and has a novel fold consisting of a β-sandwich composed of two seven-stranded anti-parallel β-sheets [4]. Eqolisin ...
Proteasomes are protein complexes which degrade unneeded or damaged proteins by proteolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks peptide bonds. Enzymes that help such reactions are called proteases.Search Main menu Skip to primary content Skip to secondary content Home GADD45B 8-Cl-cAMP BMS-1 E64d ...
Seven IAP antagonists are also in phase I/phase II clinical trials [6]. However, specific efficacy of these inhibitors against one or more forms of breast cancer has not been described. Ubiquitination is reversible, like most regulatory processes, and the enzymes that reverse protein ubiquitination...
