Both pathways converge at the level of the effector caspases — proteolytic enzymes that carry out the cell death response. These two pathways sit within a broader superstructure of other ...

in which a series of conformational changes induced by C3b make the pro-enzyme factor B susceptible to proteolytic activation into Bb. Current data suggest that final C3-convertase activity is ...

Papaya is renowned for its digestive benefits due to the presence of papain, a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids, making them easier to digest. This enzyme also helps ...

Based on this finding, the team developed an immunodriven strategy by using the localized proteolytic enzymes released by inflammatory leukocytes to create a temporary window on the BM ...
