We would also like to explore the utility of our methodology on the hydrolysis of other polysaccharides as well as in proteins for the production of amino acids and peptides," concludes Tsubaki.

Proteolysis is the enzymatic process by which proteins are degraded into their component polypeptide or amino acid parts. This generally occurs through protease-mediated hydrolysis of peptide ...

Proteases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of the peptide and isopeptide bonds that join amino acids within proteins (known as proteolysis). Proteases can also remove protein post ...
