proteolytic

These bacteria are better adapted to utilize proteins, which they break down to amino acids by means of proteolytic enzymes; the amino acids are then fermented.

See, because there's only a finite amount of proteolytic enzymes in the gut this breakdown occurs at a predictable rate.

Don't forget that you can replace the three residues in the serine protease catalytic triad and still see significant proteolytic activity.

In case folks don't know, trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme produced in the pancreas.

Chymosin has the strongest clotting power whereas pepsin has the strongest proteolytic power.

The great decline in proteolytic autophagy that occurs with aging (Del Roso, et al., 2003) can be reduced by inhibiting the release of fatty acids.

Calcium cations promote the release of proteolytic enzymes - and other catabolic enzymes - which damage the cytoskeleton and destroy mitochondria releasing reactive oxygen species into the cytosol.

We expect that the reason why ostracod luciferase was exploited for kleptoprotein bioluminescence of Parapriacanthus is due partly to its high proteolytic resistance and highly stable nature (fig.

Rennet is made of two proteolytic enzymes, chymosin and pepsin, that break apart milk proteins (specifically, caseins) by hydrolysis and cause them to coagulate and turn milk into curd.

Trafficking and proteolytic processing of APP.

The major protective membrane glycoproteins, mucin, and lactadherin are resistant to conditions in the newborn's stomach and maintain their structure and function even at low pH and in the presence of the proteolytic enzyme pepsin.

Many parasites invade their hosts by secreting proteolytic enzymes that break down connective tissue and allow the parasite access to host tissues, and it has been proposed that these enzymes are particularly active at promoting TH2 responses.
