ABSTRACT
Cystatin D is a type II family proteinase inhibitor which is known to be playing a very vital role
in the salivary system and ensuring oral health. Cystatin D is known to inhibit different types of
proteinases among which cathepsin S is reported to be highly preferred. Orthologs and paralogs
of cystatin D were found to understand their existence in other species and its isoforms. Using
protein – protein molecular docking the binding affinity of cystatin D with cathepsin S was
studied.
