Photosynthetic and growth responses of two mustard cultivars differing in phytocystatin activity under cadmium stress
Cadmium inhibits photosynthetic capacity of plants by disturbing protein conformations, whereas phytocystatins prevent degradation of target proteins and are involved in abiotic stress tolerance. Two mustard (Bra...

Effect of curcumin on the nitric oxide induced structural and functional modifications of high molecular mass goat brain cystatin
Cystatins are thiol proteinase inhibitors ubiquitously present in the mammalian body. In brain, they prevent unwanted proteolysis and are involved in several neurodegenerative diseases. Under physiological con...
