Genome mining for peptidases in heat-tolerant and mesophilic fungi and putative adaptations for thermostability

Abstract Background Peptidases (EC 3.4) consist of a large group of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins accounting for approximately 65% of the total worldwide enzyme production. Peptidases from thermophilic fungi have adaptations to high temperature that makes them adequate...
