Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes

Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Fourth Edition, Volume Four: Aspartic and Glutamic Peptidases, Asparagine Peptide Lyases and Peptidases of Unknown Catalytic Mechanisms includes over 250 chapters on known aspartic and glutamic peptidases, asparagine peptide lysases, and peptidases of unknown catalytic mechanisms. Chapters discuss each enzyme’s name, history, activity and specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, biological aspects, and distinguishing features, with 2D and 3D structures of peptidases in color, extensive references, and links to PubMed and MEROPS databases. Edited by world-renowned experts, and with five volumes available for individual sale, this work provides detailed information on all known proteolytic enzymes researched to-date, with expanded coverage of metallopeptidases, cysteine peptidases, serine and threonine peptidases, aspartic and glutamic peptidases, and inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes.
