which enzyme breaks down protein?
(A). Amylases
(B). Lipases
(C). Proteases (Proteolytic enzymes )
(D). Nucleases
Answer: Proteases

What are Proteases?

Proteases (Proteolytic enzymes ) are the enzymes that are helpful to break down the protein.

How Proteases are made?

Proteases are made by the followings;

Fungi
Animals
Plants
Bacteria

Proteases break down proteins in the skin or in the body.

Classification of Proteases

We can classify Proteases According to the followings;

Proteases Classification According to optimal pH
Proteases Classification According to catalytic residue

1. Proteases Classification According to optimal pH

Acid proteases: proteases with optimal pH in acidic solutions. Examples are chymosin and pepsin.
Alkaline proteases (Basic proteases): active from neutral to alkaline pH range.
Neutral proteases: an extremely stable Zn-metalloendopeptidase that is produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa.

2. Proteases Classification According to catalytic residue

Serine proteases: Examples of Serine proteases are Plasmin, Thrombin, Keratinase, Acrosomal protease, Complement C1, Chymotrypsin, Trypsin, Elastase, Fibrinolysin, Cocoonase, Collagenase
Cysteine proteases
Threonine proteases
Aspartic proteases

Glutamic proteases
Metalloproteases
Asparagine peptide lyases
