Protease (protein decomposition enzyme) - protein decomposition enzyme
Enzymes that hydrolyze (digest) the peptide bonds of proteins. They are also called proteases. They are classified into four types based on the difference in the active center of the enzyme molecule: serine proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, etc.), which contain serine residues in the active center; thiol proteases (papain, etc.), which contain cysteine ​​residues; acidic proteases (pepsin, etc.), which contain acidic amino acids in the active center; and metalloproteases (carboxypeptidase A, etc.), which contain metal ions as coenzymes.
