TcSERPIN, an inhibitor that interacts with cocoa defense proteins and has biotechnological potential against human pathogens

In plants, serpins are a superfamily of serine and cysteine protease inhibitors involved in stress and defense mechanisms, with potential for controlling agricultural pests, making them important biotechnological tools. The objective of this study was to characterize a serpin from Theobroma cacao, c...
