Publisher's Note There is currently great interest in proteolytic enzymes. They are being studied as promising drug targets for the treatment of many illnesses, including HIV, rheumatology, and thrombosis, as well as in the control of tumor invasion. Proteolytic enzymes are also extensively used in the production of foods and cosmetics, and play a central role in normal embryonic development. The increasing knowledge of and interest in these and many other aspects of proteolytic enzymes is producing new investigators who will find this comprehensive reference an invaluable resource.
