Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A ferment which liquefies gelatin but which does not digest coagulated egg-albumin or fibrin in either acid, neutral, or alkaline solutions. It occurs widely distributed among bacteria, yeasts, molds, and in various phanerogams. According to recent research trypsin is not a unity, and a gelatinase has been demonstrated as one of its possible components.
Wiktionary
- n. biochemistry Any of several proteolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of gelatine
