Abstrakt: Fibrillar proteins play a significant role in the functioning of living organisms, and much attention has been paid to them recently as targets in the therapy and diagnosis of various diseases, substrates for the biopolymers production, and industrially important proteins that are key agents in textile and food manufacture. To implement the development of these directions, fibrillar proteins' hydrolysis and processing methods are needed, the most promising of which is the use of proteolytic enzymes. A total of 11 enzyme preparations obtained by cultivation of micromycetes that belong to the genus Aspergillus and contain from 1 to 10 proteins were studied for the ability to hydrolyze fibrillar proteins: collagen, keratin, fibrin, and elastin. The proteolytic enzymes of A. alliaceus 7dN1, A. clavatus A16, and A. ustus 1 showed an activity comparable to or higher than that of the commercial preparation terrilytin used in wound therapy. The A. fumigatus D1 enzyme preparation also showed a high level of fibrinolytic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
