Proteinase II, myxobacter AL-1, is an enzyme classified as a serine protease, derived from the myxobacterium species. This enzyme is known for its ability to hydrolyze peptide bonds in proteins, facilitating various biological processes, including protein degradation and turnover. Characteristically, Proteinase II exhibits specificity for certain amino acid residues, which influences its substrate recognition and catalytic efficiency. It operates optimally within a specific pH range and temperature, typical for proteolytic enzymes, and is often involved in microbial interactions and nutrient cycling in its natural habitat. The enzyme's activity can be influenced by the presence of inhibitors or activators, which can modulate its function in biochemical pathways. Additionally, Proteinase II has potential applications in biotechnology and research, particularly in protein engineering and the study of proteolytic mechanisms. Its CAS number, 72561-05-8, serves as a unique identifier for this substance in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in various scientific fields.
