PROTEASE
ASSAYS
There are a number of different assays to determine
how well an enzyme will hydrolyze protein to peptides and
amino acids. They will vary based on the pH of the reaction
or the substrate.
The HUT assay method is
often used for fungal proteases with acid pH optimums .
(ASSAY
– HUT)
The PC assay is often used to determine the
activity of bacterial proteases that have a neutral pH optimum
(Assay
– Protease PC)
Other protease assay methods are found in the section on Papain
and Bromelain
