Proteolytic enzymes.

Leipner, J. and R. Saller (2000). "Systemic enzyme therapy in oncology: effect and mode of action." Drugs 59(4): 769-80. Plant extracts with a high content of proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in traditional medicine. Besides proteolytic enzymes from plants, 'modern' enzyme therapy additionally includes pancreatic enzymes. The therapeutic use of proteolytic enzymes is partly ba...

Proteolytic enzymes of lung.

The lung usually is considered to be a passive tissue whose main function is to permit gaseous diffusion to and from the blood; however, the lung is also an organ of defense. Its phagocytes remove inhaled dust particles and bacteria. A considerable part of the lung parenchyma consists of mononuclear phagocytes and potential mononuclear phagocytes. Since these cells are not readily available in ...

Systemic Proteolytic Enzymes

[The structure of the yeast cell wall. II. Degradative studies with enzymes].

In contrast to the use by earlier investigators of alkali in degrading the walls of yeast cells, various enzymes have now been employed for this purpose, the reaction products being characterized with the aid of chromatography. Isolated cell walls were dissolved completely by enzyme preparations from Helix pomatia and to various extents up to about 50 % by enzymes present in malt, by crystallin...
