Ananain
Ananain (EC 3.4.22.31, stem bromelain, fruit bromelain) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Best reported small molecule substrate Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-NHMec
This enzyme is isolated from stem of pineapple plant, Ananas comosus.
