| additional information | - |
thermal denaturation studies show that the binding of Ca2+ and Mg2+ brings about change in the thermal stability of papain at various concentrations of these metal ions. No significant change in the alpha-helix and beta-sheet structure of the papain upon binding of these metal ions | Carica papaya |
