In the presence of carboxypeptidase, the hydrolytically stable complex [Os(η-pcym)(L2)Cl]PF (2) partially released the bioactive substituent indomethacin, bound through the amide bond to the chelating 2-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)pyridine-based moiety of L2. Stability in the presence of other relevant biomolecules (GSH, NADH, GMP) and cancer cell viability were also studied.

Introduction: Carboxypeptidase, a member of the metallopeptidase M32 family, catalyses the C-terminal hydrolysis of a variety of peptides and proteins in the presence of metal ions.
Objective: To characterize Leishmania donovani carboxypeptidase (LdCP) in miltefosine (MIL) drug-resistant parasites.
Methods: We performed the MTT assay and cell cycle analysis to confirm the MIL resistance of clinical isolates.

The AGBL5 gene encodes for the Cytoplasmic Carboxypeptidase 5 (CCP5), an α-tubulin deglutamylase that cleaves the γ-carboxyl-linked branching point of glutamylated tubulin. To date, pathogenic variants in AGBL5 have been associated only with isolated retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Hearing loss has not been reported in AGBL5-caused retinal disease.

Field evidence indicates differences in the rate and severity of COVID-19 infection among Afghans and Iranians, potentially influenced by individual genomic variances. Therefore, investigating the potential causes of these disparities holds significant clinical importance. This study aims to explore and compare variations in the genes encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), along with total ACE activity levels in the blood of Afghans and Iranians with COVID-19, to assess any potential correlation with disease severity.

Aeruginosins (AERs) are one of the most common classes of cyanobacterial peptides synthesised through a hybrid non-ribosomal peptide synthase/polyketide synthase pathway. They have been found in , , /, and The presence of AER in isolated from the Curonian Lagoon was reported for the first time in our previous work. Here, the structure of aeruginosin 525 (AER525), isolated from sp.
