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 ...

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.

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
