Abstract

Methods for characterization of protease activity were applied to three Bacillus sp. protease preparations of varying purity. Activities differed by several orders of magnitude between the three proteases. Fractionation by HPLC and assay of peak activity against the two substrates elucidated the presence of 1–4 active fractions in each protease preparation.
