Contraceptive effects of thermolysin?
We can draw some interesting connections based on the available information: Metalloproteinases: Thermolysin is a metalloproteinase, similar to the ADAM proteins and snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) in other notes. These proteins share structural similarities and may have related functions. Potential interference with reproduction: Given that some metalloproteinases can interfere with reproductive processes, it’s possible that…
