Application
Protease from Aspergillus saitoi has been used in a study to assess sequence coverage and resolution in hydrogen exchange of large proteins. It has also been used in a study to investigate the conversion of soybean curd isoflavone glycosides to their aglycones through β-glucosidase..
Biochem/physiol Actions
Protease from Aspergillus saitoi was shown to also function as a β-glucosidase.
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze hemoglobin to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmole (181 μg) of tyrosine per min at pH 2.8 at 37 °C (color by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent).

An Aspergillus saitoi protease preparation, Molsin, was found to contain beta-glucosidase as well as protease activities. Application of Molsin to soybean curd improved its functionality by converting the contained isoflavone glycosides to their aglycones through beta-glucosidase, and also modified the

The crystal structure of aspergillopepsin I (AP) from Aspergillus phoenicis has been determined at 2.18 A resolution and refined to R and R(free) factors of 21.5 and 26.0%, respectively. AP has the typical two beta-barrel domain structure of aspartic proteinases.
