This book provides an account of the recent advances in our
understanding of the role of proteases under physiological and
pathological conditions. It reviews the contributions that have
been made in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology,
medicine, agriculture and ecology. In addition there is an account
of the growing number of practical applications in biotechnology,
reflecting the fact that peptidases are major targets for medical
and agricultural purposes. The book shows how the numerous protease
structures are essential for drug design. The contributions place
special emphasis on cysteine, aspartic and metalloproteases and
their role in physiological and certain pathological states.
Another focus is the classification and nomenclature of peptidases
and a review of those proteases currently under the most intensive
investigation. The book provides an informative introduction for
teachers and newcomers to the field, such as graduate students,
while providing a valuable source of material and ideas for the
academic and industrial researcher in areas including biochemistry,
medicine, agriculture and biotechnology.
