Molecular determinants of improved cathepsin B inhibition by new cystatins obtained by DNA shuffling

BACKGROUND: Cystatins are inhibitors of cysteine proteases. The majority are only weak inhibitors of human cathepsin B, which has been associated with cancer, Alzheimer's disease and arthritis. RESULTS: Starting from the sequences of oryzacystatin-1 and canecystatin-1, a shuffling library was d...
