Cysteine Proteases from Carica papaya: An important enzyme group of many industrial applications
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Cysteine proteases (Thiol Proteases) are specific group of proteases which carry nucleophilic cysteine thiol in their structure. They are usually obtained from different tropical and subtropical fruits such as papaya, kiwifruit and pineapple. This group of enzyme gain more interest nowadays based on their wide range of applications in textile, food, and medical industries. This review summarizes the recent development of the production of these enzymes using papaya (Carica papaya) as main source of this group of important biocatalysts. Itcovers also the new trends applied for extraction, purification, and modification of this enzyme group. In addition, the new extended applications of cysteine proteases were also discussed as well.
