Rhodotorulapepsin is a proteolytic enzyme belonging to the aspartic protease family, produced by certain yeast species in the genus Rhodotorula. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins, functioning optimally in acidic environments and displaying biochemical similarities to pepsin, the digestive enzyme found in vertebrate stomachs. This enzyme has attracted scientific attention for its […]
