Allosteric activation mechanism of bovine chymosin revealed by bias-exchange metadynamics and molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
The aspartic protease, bovine chymosin, catalyses the proteolysis of κ-casein proteins in milk. The bovine chymosin–κ-casein complex is of industrial interest as the enzyme is widely employed in the manufacturing of processed dairy products. The apo form

Graphical Abstract Summary: Chymosin-specific activity on κ-casein causes aggregation of casein micelles. The presence of soluble caseins inhibits the secondary stage of this aggregation. This is shown in both rediluted and concentrated samples.

Antibacterial activity of bovine lactoferrin-derived peptides [PDF]
Several peptides sharing high sequence homology with lactoferricin B (Lf-cin B) were generated from bovine lactoferrin (Lf) with recombinant chymosin. Two peptides were copurified.

Plumeria alba latex as a new plant protease for waragashi cheese production: A comparative assessment of yield and physicochemical and textural characteristics [PDF]
The Peuhl cheese (Waragashi, Warangachi, Wagashi, or Wara in local language) is a soft cheese with a high nutritional value, prepared by coagulation of whole milk under the action of calotropaïne, a plant enzyme from Calotropis procera.

A novel electrochemical assay for chymosin determination using a label-free peptide as a substrate.
Chymosin is a predominant enzyme in rennet and is used in cheese production because of its excellent milk-clotting activity. Herein, we proposed a facile and label-free electrochemical method for determining chymosin activity based on a peptide-based ...
