Nepenthesin, an aspartic endopeptidase from the pitcher fluid of Nepenthes, was found to be markedly less stable than porcine pepsin A when treated with urea or guanidine hydrochloride. This is in sharp contrast with its remarkably high pH/temperature stability as compared with porcine pepsin A. No protein with such a stability profile has been reported to date.
猪笼草蛋白酶是一种来自猪笼草捕虫笼液体的天冬氨酸内肽酶,研究发现,在用尿素或盐酸胍处理时,它的稳定性明显低于猪胃蛋白酶A。这与它和猪胃蛋白酶A相比具有显著的高pH/温度稳定性形成了鲜明对比。迄今为止,尚未报道过具有这种稳定性特征的蛋白质。
