The objective of this study was to determine the potential of Thermus thermophilus HB8 for accumulating a high level of extracellular, thermostable amylolytic enzyme. Initial production tests indicated clearly that only very low levels of amylolytic ...
This work describes purification of a protease from the visceral mass of the mussel Mytella charruana as well as evaluation of its ability to hydrolyze milk casein to generate antimicrobial peptides. The enzyme showed pI of 4.1 and a single polypepti...
A novel aspartic protease gene (RmproA) was cloned from the thermophilic fungus Rhizomucor miehei CAU432 and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The RmproA was successfully expressed in P. pastoris as an active extracellular protease. High protease activit...
A low molecular weight serine protease from seeds of Citrullus colocynthis was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity with high level of catalytic efficiency (22,945 M(-1) S(-1)). The enzyme was a monomer with molecular mass of 25 kDa estimated by S...

Cas12a is one of the most widely used Cas nucleases for genome editing and in vitro diagnosis. A number of engineered Cas12a mutants have been identified with improved activity and stability. However, it remains largely unaddressed how these mutation...
(R)-Styrene oxide is a high-value chiral intermediate in pharmaceutical and chemical industries, yet its enantioselective synthesis remains challenging. Here, we engineered an epoxide hydrolase from Spatholobus suberectus (SsEH) to address its limita...
