cystatin, egg-white

SummaryWe have examined the amino acid sequences of a number of proteins that have been suggested to be related to chicken… Expand

The cystatins were the first amyloidogenic proteins to be shown to oligomerize through a 3D domain swapping mechanism. Here we… Expand

Cystatins, an amyloid-forming structural superfamily, form highly stable, domain-swapped dimers at physiological protein… Expand

The levels of cysteine proteinase inhibitors stefin A, stefin B, and cystatin C were determined using ELISAs in sera obtained… Expand

We investigated whether cystatins and cystatin-derived peptides, encompassing sequences of secondary structures of cystatin S and… Expand

Up-regulation of nitric oxide (NO) production by activated murine macrophages was observed during infection by Trypanosoma cruzi… Expand

The kinetics of pH-induced inactivation of human cathepsins B and L was studied by conventional and stopped-flow methods. The… Expand

Cathepsin L is known as the most unstable lysosomal cysteine proteinase at neutral or alkaline pH. The kinetics of inactivation… Expand

The last decade has witnessed enormous progress of protein inhibitors of cysteine proteinases concerning their structures… Expand
