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 ...

Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]
A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share ...
