title: Proteinase inhibitors and activators strategic targets for therapeutic intervention.
abstract: The contributions in this meeting represent the state of the art in study of proteinases and their biological and therapeutic regulation. The near future of proteinase research will be fashioned by the new horizons of proteomics research [61], adding substance to the genomic data. Even new approaches in drug discovery, such as combinatorial chemistry, impact upon the understanding of the proteinase function, as with the discovery of a novel allosteric exosite in FVIIa by probing with libraries of ligands [62]. What is without question is that proteinases will remain at the forefront of understanding and intervention in human biochemistry and human disease pathology.
