Abstract excerpt
Peptidases or proteinases are now classified into seven families based on the nature of the catalytic residues [MEROPS-the peptidase database (http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/)]. They are aspartic- (first described in 1993), cysteine- (1993), serine- (1993) metallo- (1993), threonine- (1997), glutamic- (2004) and asparagine-peptidase (2010). By using an S-PI (pepstatin Ac) as a probe, a new subfamily of serine...
