Bioactivity | Thermolysin is a thermostable neutral metalloproteinase enzyme secreted by the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus thermoproteolyticus. Thermolysin catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds containing hydrophobic residues[1]. |
Invitro | Thermolysin (100 μg in 1 mL, 64°C for 4 h, in isolated starch granules) digestion results in the selective removal of a group of low-molecular-mass proteins ranging between 10 and 27 kD[2].Thermolysin can be used for the hydrolysis of bovine liver sarcoplasmic proteins[3]. |
