Journal ArticleDOI
Production and characterization of keratinase of a feather-degrading Bacillus licheniformis PWD-1
TL;DR: The keratinase produced by Bacillus licheniformis PWD-1 was induced by feather powder and was stable from pH 5 to 12.5, and the relative activity of this enzyme toward casein, feather powder, keratin, elastin, and collagen was 100:52:41:18:7.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Novel Cysteine Proteases from Germinating Cotyledons of Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]
TL;DR: The enzymatic properties of novel cysteine proteases D3-alpha and beta which were purified from germinating soybean cotyledons were investigated and demonstrated that these enzymes are Cysteine endopeptidases like papain [EC 3.22.]
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of 30-kDa fragments derived from β-conglycinin degradation process during germination and seedling growth of soybean
TL;DR: A degradation process of beta-conglycinin is subjected to limited proteolysis at exposed regions on the molecular surface, like domain junctions, generating 30-kDa single-domain fragments before non-specific proteolytic.
Patent
Production of protein hydrolyzate
TL;DR: In this paper, a keratin-containing protein such as bird feather or animal hair is digested with a Keratin enzyme and then it is processed with a carboxypeptidase and/or an aminopeptid enzyme to obtain a protein hydrolyzate.
Patent
Production of low-bitter peptide
TL;DR: In this paper, an endopeptidase such as germinated soybean enzyme cysteine protease D3, having such substrate specificity as to be low in the activity to cleave the terminal of a hydrophobic amino acid act on a protein.
