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 ...

Specificity determinants of acylaminoacyl‐peptide hydrolase [PDF]
Protein Science, 1992 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.

The evolutionary advantage of an aromatic clamp in plant family 3 glycoside exo-hydrolases
, 2022 In the barley β-d-glucan glucohydrolase, a glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH3) enzyme, the Trp286/Trp434 clamp ensures β-d-glucosides binding, which is fundamental for substrate hydrolysis during plant growth and development.

Protease inhibitor concentrations in the saliva of individuals experiencing oral dryness
BMC Oral Health, 2021 Background Oral dryness is a common symptom that may interfere with swallowing, chewing, and taste. The most common reason for oral dryness is hyposalivation. Some individuals experiencing oral dryness do not have hyposalivation, however, and the reverse

The Peptide Hydrolase System of the Leuconostoc
Journal of Food Protection, 1990 The intracellular peptide hydrolase activities of Leuconostoc species were determined using various aminopeptidase, dipeptidase, carboxypeptidase substrates, and casein. The activities were separated by disc gel electrophoresis. All strains had aminopeptidase activity as determined with amino acid ß-napthylamides and dipeptidase.
