Secretion of collagenases by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for collagen degradation
Background The production and processing of animal-based products generates many collagen-rich by-products, which have received attention both for exploitation to increase their added value and to reduce their negative environmental impact.

Biochemical characterisation of a collagenase from Bacillus cereus strain Q1
Collagen is the most abundant protein in higher animals and as such it is a valuable source of amino acids and carbon for saprophytic bacteria. Due to its unique amino acid composition and triple-helical tertiary structure it can however only be cleaved ...

Contrasting effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics on the expression of the collagenases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -13, in human tendon-derived cells [PDF]
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may cause tendon pain and rupture. We reported previously that the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin potentiated interleukin (IL)-1ß-stimulated expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-3 and MMP-1 in human tendon-derived ...

Collagenases and gelatinases in bone healing. The focus on mandibular fractures
Due to high amount of collagen fibres in the structure of bone, the enzymes capable of collagen digestion play a key role in bone remodelling. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), prevailing extracellular endopeptideses, can digest extracellularly located ...
