Pepsin, an acid protease, contains a proteolytic enzyme. Pepsin contains the "cathepsin" component which has milk curdling activity. It has a broad range of substrate activity and demonstrates an esterase acitivity. It generally attacks peptide bonds. Pepsin is a peptidase used to…

MAO inhibitor; inhibits platelet aggregation.

This α-amylase product is a liquefying diastase supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder having high uniformity and excellent storage stability. The general procedure for the enzymatic liquefaction of starch is the same, regardless of the nature of the end product. The degree of conversion…

Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid is a polyamino carboxylic acid hexadentate ligand and a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid is a chelator of divalent cations. It also inhibits enzymes, such as metalloproteases, that require divalent cations for activity. Zinc-dependent…

Pancreatin is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the porcine pancreas and delivered to the small intestine for the hydrolysis of complex nutrients. It is a broad-spectrum protease composed of amylase, trypsin, lipase, ribonuclease and protease. Pancreatin…

Papain is a sulfhydryl protease from Carica papaya latex. (A second protease, chymopapain, and a lysozyme have also been isolated from this same source.) Since native crystalline papain is quite unreactive until acted upon by mild reducing agents such as cysteine or cyanide, it may exist as a…

Lipases are a subclass of the esterases. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of emulsified esters of glycerol and long chain fatty acids. Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of esters…
