Abstract
Fungi produce a variety of proteins with antiproliferative activity toward tumor cells and anticancer activity in tumor bearing mice. The aforementioned fungal proteins include ribonucleases, antifungal proteins, ubiquitin-like peptides, ribosome inactivating proteins, hemolysins, hemagglutinins/lectins, laccases, and protein-bound polysaccharopeptides.
Keywords: Fungi, antiproliferative, anticancer, proteins, tumor cell, ribonuclease, ribosome, hemolysin, adiotherapy, chemotherapy

Advancing the Understanding of Regulatory Mechanisms and Diseases Through Biochemistry and Structural Biology
Modern research is increasingly interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms and diseases through various integrative approaches. Biochemistry and structural biology offer valuable atomic-level insights that help unravel the complexities of cellular regulatory mechanisms and their association with health and disease. The unique advantage of these fields is that they provide ...read more
Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides of Plant Origin
Plants are still the major repository of biologically active substances. In the last two decades, however, natural peptides and proteins of plant origin have gained increasing attention due to their pharmacological activities over a variety of human illnesses, including those mediated by infections and parasitosis and those involving different cellular ...read more
