abstract：:Oligopeptidase B (OpdB) from Trypanosoma brucei is a candidate therapeutic target in African trypanosomiasis. OpdB is an atypical serine peptidase, since activity is inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents and enhanced by reducing agents. We have identified C256 as the reactive cysteine residue that mediates OpdB inhibit...
