Identification of a cDNA clone in lambda gt11 for the transacylase component of branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase.

abstract：:N-terminal of Leu-norleucinal or Leu-methioninal was modified to obtain a cell penetrative peptide inhibitor against calpain. Benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) derivatives had less active against papain than phenylbutyryl derivatives and leupeptin. Z-Leu-nLeu-H (calpeptin) was more sensitive to calpain I than Z-Leu-Met-H and leup...
