Trypanopain : a possible target for anti-trypanosomal agents?
(1997)The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei brucei causes nagana in cattle and is a widely used model for human sleeping sickness. The major lysosomal cysteine proteinases (trypanopains) of African trypanosomes may contribute ... -
Type IV collagenase and cathepsins L and H : proteinases involved in tumour invasion.
(1992)The collagenolytic proteinases, type IV collagenase and cathepsins Land H, have been implicated in tumour invasion and metastasis, by virtue of their degradative action on the extracellular matrix barriers traversed by ... -
Using student difficulties to identify and model factors influencing the ability to interpret external representations of IgG-antigen binding.
(2005)Scientific external representations (ERs), such as diagrams, images, pictures, graphs and animations are considered to be powerful teaching and learning tools, because they assist learners in constructing mental models ...
