Falcipain-2 and cruzain are cysteine proteases involve in Malaria and Chagas disease. Today, many aspects of both, inhibition mechanism and catalytic mechanism of these enzymes are unclear. Thus, it is crucial to improve our understanding of how these enzymes work at molecular level for the design of new inhibitors. In the present Doctoral Thesis, different enzymatic mechanisms of the reaction catalyzed by cruzain, as well as several inhibition processes of cruzain and FP2, have been studied. Hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanical potentials have been employed to run Molecular Dynamics simulations that allow obtaining the Free Energy Surfaces in terms of Potential of Mean Force. These calculations have allowed obtaining a complete pi...
