The biological diversity of marine species provides a wide array of enzymes with unique
properties. For this reason, there is great potential for the recovery and use of digestive …

This chapter is on the major proteinases (also known as proteolytic enzymes or proteases)
that are produced by the digestive glands of marine animals. Like the proteinases from …
