The Effect of High Pressure on Thermolysin [PDF]
FEBS Journal, 1997 The effects of high pressure on thermolysin activity and spectroscopic properties were studied. Thermolysin showed distinct pressure‐induced activation with a maximum observed at 200–250 MPa for a dipeptide amide substrate and at 100–120 MPa for a heptapeptide substrate.
