proteolytic enzyme

This proteolytic enzyme is involved in cellular protein degradation and turnover.

This activity protects some tissues, such as the lower respiratory tract, from damage caused by proteolytic enzymes.

For instance, a proteolytic enzyme in okra can cause irritation and lesions.

Much of the debris to be removed is proteinaceous, and proteolytic enzymes have been applied to this purpose.

It has been identified that the maggots produce proteolytic enzymes which take part in the debridement process.

Accordingly, proteolytic enzymes have been tried in conjunction with antibiotics.

It is implied that effective drug treatments can be developed by targeting the proteolytic enzymes of the food vacuole.

It is likely that other proteolytic enzymes may also play a role beyond those evaluated in the current study.

One example is the subclass of proteolytic enzymes called oligopeptidase.

This can be applied to find the best substrates for proteolytic enzymes.
