Abstract
The present project intends to develop an efficient system for expression and purification of two important therapeutics targets, metallopeptidases ECE-1 (Endotelin 1 converting enzyme; EC 3.4.24.71) and NEP (Neprilysin; EC 3.4.24.11). The expression of these recombinant enzymes will be carried through in Pichia pastoris. Also, it will be our objective to inactivate these enzymes by site-…
