Proteolytic activity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis IgG preparations.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To design a new class of selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, and demonstrate that administration in a rabbit model for cerebral palsy (CP) prevents hypoxia-ischemia-induced deaths and reduces the number of newborn kits exhibiting signs of CP. METHODS:We used a novel computer-based drug...
