Proteases (also called peptidases or proteinases) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, breaking proteins down into smaller peptides or free amino acids. They are classified by their catalytic mechanism into groups such as serine, cysteine, aspartic, threonine, and metalloproteases, and they participate in essential biological processes including digestion, blood coagulation, immune signaling, protein turnover, and the regulation of cell function. New Developments in Chemistry publishes peer-reviewed, open-access research spanning biochemistry, proteomics, and the molecular study of proteins and enzymes. Its content includes proteomic analyses of biological samples, studies of blood coagulation factors and regulatory proteins, and work on the human proteome and bioinformatics in disease diagnosis, all areas in which proteolytic enzymes and their substrates are central. This scope situates the journal at the intersection of protein chemistry and enzymology relevant to protease function. Readers interested in enzymology, proteomics, and protein biochemistry will find peer-reviewed, open-access studies relevant to proteases.
