      Imai, Kyohei; Saito, Rysouke; Ezawa, Takyua; Sugiyama, Satoshi; Sylte, Ingebrigt; Kurita, Noriyuki (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-11)
      The zinc metalloprotease pseudolysin (PLN) secreted from Pseudomonas aeruginosa degrades extracellular proteins to produce bacterial nutrition, and various types of PLN inhibitors have been developed to suppress the bacterial growth. However, as the structure of the ligand-binding pocket of PLN has large similarities to those of human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and other human zinc metalloprotease, ...
