Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
3.4.22.51 medicine cruzain is a primary cysteine protease expressed by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi during Chagas disease infection, and thus, the development of inhibitors of this protein is a promising target for designing an effective therapy against the disease Trypanosoma cruzi

Inhibitors
