Calpains of Leishmania braziliensis: genome analysis, differential expression, and functional analysis

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 114 (), 2019
BACKGROUND Calpains are proteins belonging to the multi-gene family of calcium-dependent cysteine peptidases that undergo tight on/off regulation, and uncontrolled proteolysis of calpains is associated with severe human pathologies. Calpain orthologues are expanded and diversified in the trypanosomatids...

Efficacy of relacin combined with sodium hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms
