Studies of anticarcinogenic activity of protease inhibitors from peas (pisum sativum l.)

Objective

The aims of this project are:
a) to analyse the cancer chemopreventive effects of pea protease inhibitors and;
b) to express these to high levels in a foreign system (Aspergillus) in order to evaluate the significance of small structural changes on anticarcinogenic activity.
