Degradation of the proteoglycan matrix is considered an essential step in the process of calcification in the growth plate. This laboratory has just described the presence of a protease in human growth plate cartilage that degrades proteoglycan at neutral pH. We report here the isolation, partial pu

A phytate-degrading enzyme (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase) has been puriยฎed about 5,400-fold from germinated oat seedlings to apparent homogeneity. The molecular mass of the native monomeric enzyme was estimated to be about 67 kDa. Optimal pH for degradation of phytate was 5.0 and t
A 20 kDa antifungal serine protease from Streptomyces sp. A6 was purified to 34.56 folds by gel permeation chromatography. The enzyme exhibited highest activity at neutral to near alka- line pH 7-9 and 55 ยฐC. Neutral surfactant triton X-100 enhanced the activity by 4.12 fold. The protease activity a
