Abstract

Design Our purpose was to evaluate the inhibitory potential of functional groups incorporated into substrate analogues by testing them against proteases representing several different classes, while at the same time minimizing the amount of swthesis required. To meet this objective we selected five primary target enzymes which were commercially available and well characterized:(1) chymotrypsin (CT), a serine endoprotease preferring ...
