Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Proteases on Meltability and Stretchability of Nabulsi CheeseKhaled Abu-Alruz, Ayman Suliman Mazahreh, Jihad M. Quasem et al.Problem statement: Boiled white brined cheese (Nabulsi cheese) is the mostly consumed cheese in Jordan; this cheese should show meltability and high stretchability in order to fit in the production of high quality Kunafa and other popular local sweets and pastries. However, these characteristics are rarely available when usual processing and preservation methods were used. Approach: This study was based … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,830 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,981 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Industrially Promising Keratinase Isolated from Aspergillus aureolatus Changes its Substrate Specificity after pH-Mediated AutolysisArina Mokhova, Anna ShestakovaMicrobial proteolytic enzymes are green catalysts with many potential applications. Keratinolytic enzymes (or keratinases) are crucial for efficient keratin degradation, making them essential in waste management, biomedicine, cosmetics, and various industrial applications. This study describes the production and characterization of a protease with keratinolytic activity from Aspergillus aureolatus. The protease was isolated from the culture fluid on the 5th day … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2025 · 5,580 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Putative Serine protease from Larval Midgut of Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Partial Purification and Biochemical CharacterizationAhmed Al Jabr, Mahmoud Abo-El-SaadA putative serine protease was isolated and partially purified from larval midgut of red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) using anion exchange chromatography, DE-52. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of this protease showed that the major band has a molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa corresponding to the same molecular weight of mammalian trypsin. In addition, zymography … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,018 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerspectives of Solid State Fermentation for Production of Food EnzymesCristobal Noe Aguilar, Gerardo Gutiérrez-Sánchez, PLilia A. rado-Barragán et al.Food industry represents one of the economic sectors where microbial metabolites have found a wide variety of applications. This is the case of some enzymes, such as amylases, cellulases, pectinases and proteases which have played a very important role as food additives. Most of these enzymes have been produced by submerged cultures at industrial level. Many works in the literature … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,654 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proteolytic System of Candida dubliniensisLoaiza-Loeza Salomé, Parra-Ortega Berenice, Bautista-Muñoz Consuelo et al.Proteases of Candida dubliniensis have been scarcely studied, these enzymes may play an important role in nitrogen metabolism, post-translational processing, nutritional stress, dimorphism, virulence, etc. In this work, we report the presence of five different intracellular proteases and one extracellular proteolytic activity. The intracellular proteases are: aminopeptidase ycdAPE, carboxypeptidase ycdCP, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase ycdDAP, proteinases ycdPrA and ycdPrB, and extracellular protease … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,953 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1-Specific CTL Recognizing a Scarce Epitope Are Not Suppressed by HIV-1 Protease InhibitorsOtto O. YangHIV-1-protease inhibitors have received growing attention as agents that can affect proteases in human proteasomes, with potentially deleterious effects for HIV-1-specific cellular immunity. Studying the antiviral activity of HIV-1-specific CTL that recognize an epitope that is presented at limiting concentrations on infected cells, we find that several HIV-1 protease inhibitors do not affect their function. These data indicate that these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,016 accessesView PDF Cite
