Trypanosomatidae Peptidases: A Target for Drugs Development

2007-02-01

Abstract excerpt

In most organisms around 2% of the genes code for peptidases being this number only surmounted by the genes that code for transcriptional factors. This ubiquitous presence is almost unequaled and has for long fascinated biochemists. Although peptidases have been classified in four mechanistic classes (aspartic-, cysteine-, serine- and metallo-peptidases), the more recent MEROPS database recognizes 42 evolutionary...
