Cysteine cathepsins are a group of proteases involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Yet, the selective detection and inhibition of individual cathepsins is still challenging. This editorial is discussing the context of a recent work introducing a designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) as novel approach for selective targeting of the protease cathepsin B.
半胱氨酸组织蛋白酶属于一大类蛋白酶,参与多种生理和病理过程。然而,对于特定组织蛋白酶的选择性检测和抑制仍然具有挑战性。这篇社论讨论了最近一项工作的背景,该工作介绍了一种设计的锚蛋白重复蛋白(DARPin),作为选择性靶向蛋白酶组织蛋白酶 B 的新方法。
