Native Clostridium histolyticum Collagenase

• Description:

  Collagenases are endopeptidases that digest native collagen in the triple helix region. Collagens are the major fibrous component of animal extracellular connective tissue. Bacterial collagenases differ from vertebrate collagenases in that they exhibit broader substrate specificity (Peterkofsky 1982, Birkedal-Hansen 1987). Unlike animal collagenases that split collagen in its native triple-helical conformation (Woolley et al. 1975, Gross et al. 1974), bacterial
