Microbial proteases and their applications
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 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 ...

Several genes encoding enzymes with the same activity are necessary for aerobic fungal degradation of cellulose in nature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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 ...
