Abstract
Proteolytic enzymes have been implicated as the pathological agent in a number of disease states. For this reason proteases are attractive therapeutic targets. Phage display of peptide libraries can be used to identify peptides that may be used either directly as inhibitors or serve as leads in the generation of prodrugs and peptidomimetics.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
