Localization of Peptidases in Lactococci [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1992 The localization of two aminopeptidases, an X-prolyl-dipeptidyl aminopeptidase, an endopeptidase, and a tripeptidase in Lactococcus lactis was studied. Polyclonal antibodies raised against each purified peptidase are specific and do not cross-react with other peptidases.

Bioactive Peptides in Meat and Meat Products
Meat and Muscle Biology, 2023 A number of bioactive peptides with health benefits have been reported to be generated in meat through the proteolysis phenomena taking place during postmortem aging or further processing. Bioactive peptides consist of short sequences, less than 20 amino

Mechanisms of HIV Protein Degradation into Epitopes: Implications for Vaccine Design
Viruses, 2014 The degradation of HIV-derived proteins into epitopes displayed by MHC-I or MHC-II are the first events leading to the priming of HIV-specific immune responses and to the recognition of infected cells.
