Heterologous Expression of the Astacin Protease Meprin β in Pichia pastoris
Meprins are zinc-dependent proteases of the metzincin superfamily of metalloproteases. The enzymes are extracellular multi-domain proteins which are stabilized by disulfide bridges, dimerization, and glycosyla...

Glutaminyl cyclase inhibition attenuates pyroglutamate Aβ and Alzheimer's disease–like pathology
Some Aβ peptides contain pyroglutamate modifications that affect the aggregation properties of these peptides. The authors find that the enzyme glutaminyl cyclase is responsible for this pyroglutamate modifica...
