Abstract excerpt
Collagens are the most abundant proteins in marine animals and their degradation is important for the recycling of marine nitrogen. However, it is rather unclear how marine collagens are degraded because few marine collagenolytic proteases are studied in detail. Deseasins are a new type of multid...
