The Structure and Stability of Thermolysin

Thermolysin is an extracellular proteolytic enzyme isolated from Bacillus thermoproteolyticus (Endo, 1962). The enzyme is quite thermostable, retaining over half of its activity after being heated in an aqueous solution for an hour at 80°C, while at 65°C practically no inactivation occurs (Endo, 1962; Matsubara, 1967).
