Proteinase K is a highly active stable endopeptidase with a broad spectrum of action was isolated by E. Merk's Darmstadt Biochemical Research Department in 1970 from a culture filtrate of the fungus, Tritirachium album Limber. This fungus is able to grow on Keratin (e.g., wool, horn particles) as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. The isolated protease was, therefore, given the K designation.
Proteinase K is a stable and highly reactive serine protease. Evidence from crystal and molecular structure studies indicates the enzyme belongs to the subtilisin family with an active-site catalytic triad (Asp39-His69-Ser224). It is stable in a broad range of environments: pH, buffer salts, detergents (SDS), and temperature. In the presence of 0,1 to 0,5% SDS, proteinase K retains activity and will digest a variety of proteins and nucleases in DNA preparations without compromising the integrity of the isolated DNA.

Beta-glucuronidases are members of the glycosidase family of enzymes that catalyse breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Human β-glucuronidase is a type of glucuronidase that catalyses hydrolysis of β-D-glucuronic acid residues from the non-reducing end of mucopolysaccharides, such as heparan sulfate. In human gut β-glucuronidase converts conjugated bilirubin to the unconjugated form for reabsorption.

Activators: Ca²⁺ is required. Inhibitors: Metal chelating agents such as cysteine, EDTA or o-phenanthroline but not DFP. It is also inhibited by a2-macroglobulin - a large plasma glycoprotein. The human skin enzyme is inhibited by human serum but granulocyte collagenase is not. Human serum contains a2-macroglobulin and a1-antitrypsin that may inhibit certain collagenases.

Bromelain is a glycoprotein which is a highly active thiol proteinase (non-specific cysteine protease), which splits glycine esters but not lysine esters; it is also a protein-digesting and milk-clotting enzyme. Substrates susceptible to bromelain include all of the common protein materials such as gelatin, casein, gluten, collagen, elastin, globulins an muscle fiber protein. It is a cysteine endopeptidase with broad specificity for cleavage of proteins. It may be from a stem or piece of fruit.

Activators: Papain is activated by cysteine, sulphide, sulphite and more. It is enhanced when heavy metal binding agents such as EDTA are also present. N-bromosuccinimide enhances the activity. Inhibitors: Substances which react with sulphydryl groups including heavy metals, carbonyl reagents. Aldehydes are papain inhibitors. Benzoylamidoacetonitrile is an inhibitor. See Shapira and Arnon (1967a and b) on antibody inhibitors. Papain may be inactivated by H₂O₂ generated by γ-irradiation of H₂O⁻ the active SH group being oxidised to sulphenic acid. Specific inhibitors are AEBSF, antipain, cystatin, E-64, leupeptin, PMSF, TLCK and TPCK.

Soluble in distilled water. Soluble in 0,1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 6,0 (monobasic potassium phosphate adjusted to pH 6,0 with 1,0 M potassium hydroxide) (10 mg/ml yields a clear, red-brown solution). Solutions of HRP can be kept refrigerated for up to a year while maintaining practically undiminished activity. Optimal pH is 6,0 to 6,5 (activity at pH 7,5 is 84% of the maximum). The enzyme is most stable in the pH range of 5,0 to 9,0 (Lit.).

Deoxyribonuclease from beef pancreas, DNase I, was first crystallized by Kunitz. It is an endonuclease which splits phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide yielding 5'-phosphate terminated polynucleotides with a free hydroxyl group on position 3'. The average chain of limit digest is a tetranucleotide. DNase I acts upon single chain DNA, and upon double-stranded DNA and chromatin.

α-Chymotrypsin is used for treating pancreatic insufficiency and in traumatology.

Chymotrypsin preferentially catalyses the hydrolysis of peptide bonds involving L-isomers of tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan. It also readily acts upon amides and esters of susceptible amino acids. In addition to bonds involving aromatic amino acids, chymotrypsin catalyses at a high rate the hydrolysis of bonds of leucyl, methionyl, asparaginyl, and glutamyl residues. a-Chymotrypsin is a protein consisting of 241 amino acid residues. The molecule has three peptide chains: an A chain of 13 residues, a B chain of 131 residues, and a C chain of 97 residues.
