Papain was originally discovered during the colonial period in Congo. The native inhabitants discovered that wrapping their elephant meat in papaya leaves helped to tenderize the meat. While they did not know the direct cause, this was when the proteolytic enzyme was first discovered. The active binding site of this enzyme was first discovered by Drenth et al., through the crystallographic analysis of the enzymes structure. | Papain was originally discovered during the colonial period in Congo.
