The main goal of my study is to develop novel highly selective and safe inhibitors for medically-relevant proteases and the sustainable strategies to obtain them. The proteolysis instigates irreversible changes to a set of protein/peptide substrates that alters their function and generates the demanded biological event. The elevated activity of many proteases has been correlated with various pathological disorders. However, at the same time, they play physiological roles. Interestingly, the same principles
