Characterisation of a cysteine protease from bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma congolense
A cysteine protease (trypanopain‐Tc) with cathepsin‐L‐like properties has been purified from Trypanosoma congolense. The enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 31–32 kDa by SDS/ PAGE and 66 kDa by gel chromatography. It has a pI 7.4 and a high affinity for concanavalin A. Trypanopain‐Tc catalyses...
