abstract：:The number of protein folds in nature is limited, thus is not surprising that proteins with the same fold are able to exert different functions. The cysteine protease inhibitors that adopt an immunoglobulin- like fold (Ig-ICPs) are inhibitors encoded in bacteria and protozoan parasites. Structural studies indicate tha...
