Abstract
The proposed project deals with biochemical studies of apoptosis and the proteases involved, emphasis being on caspases. New mammalian protein inhibitors of caspases will be sought and their mechanism of interaction with caspases investigated. The activation mechanism of caspases, as well as the role of caspase 7 in apopotsis, will also be subjects of our investigation. The proposed research programme will contribute to a better understanding of proteolysis and apoptosis and its regulation in normal and pathological conditions.
