“…Three engineered forms showed higher enzyme activity in contrast to the native enzyme (Rouhani et al, 2021). Interestingly, one of the truncated forms, T344[8‐339ss], with 344 amino acid length and a disulfide bond between residues 8 and 339 showed the highest proteolytic activity and thermal stability in comparison to the native enzyme and the other engineered forms (Rouhani et al, 2021). However, in the mentioned investigation, functional assays were performed using casein, as a nonspecific substrate and there is not any information about the impact of such alternations on the receptor‐binding affinity of these truncated forms for different substrates and inhibitors.…”
