"This paper reports a study to find small peptide substrates for the important virulence factor of Yersinia pestis, plasminogen activator, Pla," researchers in the United States report. "The method used to find small substrates for this protease is reported along with studies examining the ability of these peptides to inhibit activity of the enzyme," wrote A.

Agarkov and colleagues published their study in...
