Dear Dr Moran, thanks for your interest in the use of proteases in the presence of other exogenous enzymes. When we blend DP100 with phytase in feed, we don’t see losses of the phytase or DP100 in the feed, and when we feed the combination of the two enzymes we don’t see reduction in the response of the bird. This would indicate the protease is not degrading the exogenous phytase, if a ...

Mercedes Vazquez-Anon Thank you for the effort of your answer. Having chymotrypsin type activity provides broad based action on proteins by cleaving peptide linkages of hydrophobic amino acids which usually dominate most proteins. Kafirin is good example by having a very large amount of leucine. It nicely clears starch occlusion of all proamines in grain endosperm enabling supplemental amylase to ...

Thank you very much for the interesting questions! DP100 is a type of keratinase that belong to serine protease and it’s produced by Bacillus licheniformis PWD-1. Within the serine proteases, DP100 belongs to the subtilisin-like proteases group in which chymotrypsin belongs to.Data shows that the protease DP100 can be blended with other enzymes such as phytase, xylanase and NSPase without ne ...
