... a removal of proteases from the blood by this kind of treatment. Nevertheless, plasma proteolytic activity persisted in one patient until death in spite of 11 plasma exchanges, whereas in the other a normalization occurred after three plasma exchanges.Proteases in the plasma might be harmful to the patient...

... that fills the spaces between the collagen fibrils and helps to inflate the matrix. The collagen fibrils are very resistant to proteolytic degradation so these do not make a good target for pharmacological vitreolysis, but degradation of the hyaluronan facilitates the dispersal of vitreous haemorrhage...

... and characterization of a novel peptidase (IImes) from mesquite ( Prosopis velutina ) pollen. J Biol Chem 1998;273:16771-16777 7. Radlowski M: Proteolytic enzymes from generative organs of flowering plants (Angiospermae). J Appl Genet 2005;46:247-257 8. Raftery MJ, Saldanha RG, Geczy CL, Kumar RK: Mass...

... important assistance to digesting milk proteins. The coordinated release of these encrypted sequences is accomplished by selective proteolytic action provided by an array of native milk proteases and infant-produced enzymes. The task for scientists is now to discover the selective advantages of this protein...

... survive digestion and deliver miRNAs to intestinal cells, or, if transferred into the blood stream, to cells in other tissues. In vitro work has shown that exosomes and their miRNA cargo can survive proteolytic digestion and that intestinal epithelial cells take up the exosomes and deliver them...

.... Ecological concepts have been applied to explain the microbial etiology of root caries. The acidic environment generated from the fermentation of dietary sugars selects saccharolytic bacteria that can preferentially grow and metabolize under low pH conditions, and then proteolytic Gram-negative species...

.... These enzymes include matrix metalloproteinases and cathepsins. Once activated, these potent proteolytic enzymes collectively have the capacity to degrade all the components of the exposed organic dentin and cementum matrices. In this chapter, the description of the healthy cement and dentin organic matrices...

... ) and birch pollen ( Betula pendula ) on both human tear fluid and conjunctival cell cultures. This study is an approach to seasonal non-allergic conjunctivitis (SNAC) syndrome. Methods: Zymography was carried out in order to investigate the proteolytic activity of the pollen. Thereafter, human tear fluid...

... examples of proteins that are resistant against proteolytic degradation in the gut. Together, these proteins serve protective roles against infection and support immune function in the immature infant. α-lactalbumin, β-casein, κ-casein and osteopontin are examples of proteins that are partially digested...
