  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Acid Proteases: Structure, Function, and Biology

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 95))

Abstract

Proteinases with a pH-optimum of general proteolytic activity at pH below 6 are called acidic proteinases. Such enzymes were at first recognized as the proteinases of the vertebrate gastric juice, and for many years porcine pepsin and calf chymosin have been the most well-known members of this group.
