Abstract: The present invention provides compounds that inhibit the activity of plasma kallikrein (PK) and methods of preventing and treating the formation of thrombin during or after a PK dependent disease or condition, for example, after fibrinolysis treatment.

Abstract: Human BACE polypeptides having modifications to the N-linked glycosylation sites including one or more of the following amino acid substitutions: S174I, N223A, N153Q and N354S. DNA sequences, vectors, and host cells for producing the polypeptides. Crystalline protein compositions formed from the purified polypeptides. Methods of screening for compounds that inhibit A? using the polypeptides.

Abstract: The invention provides transgenic non-human animals and transgenic non-human mammalian cells harboring a transgene encoding an APP polypeptide comprising the Swedish mutation.

Abstract: The invention discloses compositions and methods of synthesis to create novel ligands and drugs and identifying such compounds as inhibitors of enzyme targets for use in the treatment of clinical disorders, including cancer, infectious diseases, parasitic infestations, neurological disorders, reproductive disorders, inflammatory disorders, circulatory disorders, and metabolic disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed are various forms of an active, isolated ?-secretase enzyme in purified and recombinant form. This enzyme is implicated in the production of amyloid plaque components which accumulate in the brains of individuals afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. Recombinant cells that produce this enzyme either alone or in combination with some of its natural substrates (?-APPwt and ?-APPsw) are also disclosed, as are antibodies directed to such proteins. These compositions are useful for use in methods of selecting compounds that modulate ?-secretase. Inhibitors of ?-secretase are implicated as therapeutics in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.
