Proteinase and Peptidase Inhibition - Recent Potential Targets for Drug Development (Loose-leaf)

Cellular proteinases and their physiological role in normal and disease states have been the subject of great interest recently. Proteinase and Peptidase Inhibition presents new reports on a wide range of cellular proteinases whose inhibitors may hold the key to the development of new drugs. It deals with enzyme classes, inhibitor types and regulatory mechanisms governing proteinase activity. Target enzymes are fully described and classified by structural similarity, rather than by pharmacological effects. This is a valuable reference for academic and industrial researchers in medicinal chemistry, drug design and development, pharmacology, biochemistry, and molecular and cell biology.
