Protease refers to a class of hydrolytic enzymes from bacterial, fungal, or plant sources, typically off-white powders with broad substrate specificity for breaking peptide bonds, active in various pH and temperature ranges for process optimization.
Protease
Integral in laundry detergents for protein stain breakdown; in dairy for cheese coagulation; in leather processing for hide softening; in biofuel production for biomass degradation; and in proteomics for peptide mapping.
Potential for respiratory sensitization leading to occupational asthma; skin-digesting if activated. Employ dust suppression and personal respirators; deactivate spills with inhibitors.
Contained in 25 kg airtight stainless canisters. Refrigerate in biotech storage with enzyme viability checks.
