Prolidase (EC 3.4.13.9) is a ubiquitously distributed imidodipeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline containing dipeptides. The enzyme plays an important role in the recycling of proline for collagen synthesis and cell growth. An increase in enzyme activity is

We have previously shown that the expression of perlecan, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan localized on the myoblast surface, is down-regulated during terminal differentiation of skeletal muscle myoblasts (LarraΔ± Β΄n et al. [1997] Exp. Cell Res. 234:405-412). In this study, we have evaluated the bioche
## Background Molecular spacing is important for cell adhesion in a number of ways, ranging from the ordered arrangement of matrix polymers extracellularly, to steric hindrance of adhesion/signaling complexes intracellularly. This has been demonstrated using nanopatterned RGD peptides, a canonical
