Nocardiopsis alba Protease A, or NAPase, is an acid-resistant homolog of alpha-lytic protease. As such, NAPase and alp are both kinetically stable proteases, meaning it is the large barrier to unfolding that keeps this protease in its folded, active state. This is different from most other proteins, which stay in their folded, or native, state because of the energy difference between their native and unfolded states.
