    Abstract: Tricorn protease is an archaeal protease acting downstream of the proteasome and together with its interacting aminopeptidases, degrades oligopeptides to free amino acids thus playing an important role in protein turnover. This study reports a wide distribution of tricorn protease and its homologs in archaea and bacteria. The homologs were identifi... Show More

    Abstract: Hepatocellular Carcinoma is a primary malignancy of the liver. It is the fifth most common cancer around the world and is a leading cause of cancer related deaths. For about 40 years HCC has been predominantly linked with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infection. This work aims to find out potential biomarkers for HBV and HCV infected HCC through rigo... Show More
