What Are Protease Enzymes? Proteases — also called peptidases or proteinases — are a class of enzymes that catalyse the breakdown of proteins by cleaving peptide bonds. They are among the most commercially important enzymes in industrial biotechnology, accounting for a significant share of the global enzyme market. In nature, proteases perform essential biological roles: […]

Enzymes have powered life on Earth for billions of years. Today, industrial biotechnology is putting those same biological catalysts to work inside factories, distilleries, dairy plants, and pharmaceutical laboratories — quietly replacing harsh chemicals with something far cleaner, smarter, and more efficient. This guide breaks down exactly how enzyme technology works across four critical sectors, […]
