| Abstract | ||
| The main aim of the present study was to isolate, purify, and characterize a protease from chickpeas. A 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 8.0 was used for protease extraction. Following the rinsing of unattached proteins with a (pH 8.0) 20 mM Tris-2 mM CaCl2 solution and subsequent size exclusion filtering using Sephadex G-50 in the same buffer, the required protein was subsequently eluted using 0.5 M NaCl. The protease was subjected to further optimization by precipitating ammonium sulphate at a 75% concentration. Protease exhibited activity throughout the pH range of 6.0 to 8.0, it was entirely active at 35°C. Subsequently, DPPH, FTIR, and HPLC analysis was applied. | ||
