Papain
Introduction
Image:Papaya.jpg
Carica papaya
is a cysteine protease that is stable and active under a wide range of conditions. The enzyme present in the leaves, latex, roots, and fruit of the papaya plant (Carica papaya).[1] The papain proteins are synthesized as inactive precursors that become active within two minutes of the plant being wounded and the latex is expelled.[2]
