Papain is a cysteine protease consisting of a single polypeptide containing three disulfide bridges
Native crystalline papain is unreactive until acted upon by mild reducing agents, e.g. , cysteine, sulfide, or sulfite, and therefore likely exists as a zymogen
Papain has a wide specificity with a preference towards arginine, lysine, and phenylalanine
This enzyme degrades protein substrates such as the intercellular matrices of cartilage more extensively than pancreatic proteases and is typically less damaging and more effective than other proteases for tissue dissociation applications (Huettner & Baugham; Lam) and has also been used for the digestion of neural tissue (Fasano et al.)
