Purification and Characterization of a Novel Thermostable Papain Inhibitor from <i>Moringa oleifera</i> with Antimicrobial and Anticoagulant Properties

Plant cystatins (or phytocystatins) comprise a large superfamily of natural bioactive small proteins that typically act as protein inhibitors of papain-like cysteine proteases. In this report, we present the purification and characterization of the first phytocystatin isolated from <i>Moringa...
