We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Papain
Introduction
Papain is a sulfhydryl protease derived from the papaya fruit. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 212 amino acid residues folded into two domains. The active site is located in a groove between the two domains. The active site contains a catalytic diad made up of Cysteine-25 and Histidine-159. Aspartate-158 also plays a role in catalysis.
