Potential Use of Atlantic Cod Trypsin in Biomedicine

Figure 1

Degradation of different native proteins by cod trypsin compared to bovine trypsin. The columns show the fold difference in efficacy of cod trypsin (CT) over bovine trypsin (BT) in degrading the substrate proteins (lysozyme, lactoferrin, BSA, and myoglobin) in their native forms [2, 3]. The extent of degradation by cod trypsin is higher than that of bovine trypsin against all substrates tested. The enzyme digests were performed at 4°C for 72 hours, 25°C for 24 hours, and at 37°C for 3 hours. Error bars are standard errors of the mean based on at least triplicate experiments.
