In: Biology
Protease is the catalytic enyme. It can cleave the Proteins into small particles that means proteins cleaved in to amino acids.They cleave proteinse by pepetide bond by hydrolysis. The enzyme protease class different protease enyme are involved and their fuctions are different. Blood coagulation, immune response, bone formation , Apoptosis, etc are other fuctions of protease .
Inhibitors
Antiviral drugs ( widely used for HIV and AIDS and hepatitis diseases . That block viral protease for blocking viral replication.) Some antiviral durgs are ; atazanavir, nelfinavir , ritonavir , lopinavir, etc.
Lipocallin ; it invovled in cell regulation and cell devlopement , it show tumour protease inhibiting activities.
