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).

This review covers the unique catalytic and molecular properties of three proteolytic enzymes and a glycosidase from Aspergillus. An aspartic proteinase from A. saitoi, aspergillopepsin I (EC 3.4.23.18), favors hydrophobic amino acids at P1 and P'1 like gastric pepsin. However

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
