Aspartic Peptide Hydrolases in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium [PDF]
ABSTRACT Two well-characterized enzymes in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli are able to hydrolyze N-terminal aspartyl (Asp) dipeptides: peptidase B, a broad-specificity aminopeptidase, and peptidase E, an Asp-specific dipeptidase.

Comparisons of Peptide Hydrolase Activities in Cereals [PDF]
Carboxypeptidase activity (hydrolysis of N-carbobenzoxy-l-phenylalanyl-l-alanine) is high in a number of temperate zone cereals, originating in Asia Minor (wheat, barley, oats, wild oats, rye, triticale) compared to other cereals originating in central America or Asia (maize, sorghum, rice).

Enzyme‐mediated peptide synthesis using acylpeptide hydrolase [PDF]
Acylpeptide hydrolase is shown to catalyse the specific addition of a single amino acid to the N‐terminus of a peptide. The stabilised Sepharose‐coupled form of the enzyme is used to couple a carboxy‐methylated N‐formyl (or N‐acetyl) amino acid to a short pre‐existing peptide.

Acyl peptide hydrolase degrades monomeric and oligomeric amyloid-beta peptide [PDF]
Abstract Background The abnormal accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide is believed to cause malfunctioning of neurons in the Alzheimer's disease brain. Amyloid-beta exists in different assembly forms in the aging mammalian brain including monomers, oligomers, and aggregates, and in senile plaques, fibrils.
