The Human Ntn-Hydrolase Superfamily: Structure, Functions and Perspectives
N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn)-hydrolases catalyze the cleavage of amide bonds in a variety of macromolecules, including the peptide bond in proteins, the amide bond in N-linked protein glycosylation, and the amide bond linking a fatty acid to sphingosine ...

INHIBITION AND ACTIVATION OF BARLEY PEPTIDE HYDROLASES I. PEPTIDE HYDROLASE A [PDF]
Barley peptide hydrolase A acting on N-benzoyl-dl-arginine-p-nitroanilide as substrate is inhibited by the sulphydryl reagents N-ethyl maleimide and p-chloro-mercuriphenyl sulphonate. Oxidized glutathione, however, is non-inhibitory and several sulphydryl compounds are not stimulatory.

Microbial proteases and their applications
Proteases (proteinases or peptidases) are a class of hydrolases that cleave peptide chains in proteins. Endopeptidases are a type of protease that hydrolyze the internal peptide bonds of proteins, forming shorter peptides; exopeptidases hydrolyze the ...

Specificity determinants of acylaminoacyl‐peptide hydrolase [PDF]
AbstractIn an attempt to explore how specific features of the substrate's primary structure may affect the activity of rabbit muscle acylaminoacyl‐peptide hydrolase (EC 3.4.19.1), a number of acetylated peptides containing specific amino acid replacements in specific positions were prepared and compared as substrates for the hydrolase.

Several genes encoding enzymes with the same activity are necessary for aerobic fungal degradation of cellulose in nature. [PDF]
The cellulose-degrading fungal enzymes are glycoside hydrolases of the GH families and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases. The entanglement of glycoside hydrolase families and functions makes it difficult to predict the enzymatic activity of glycoside ...

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.
