Collagenases degrade native helical collagen fibrils. Plays an important role in connective tissue metabolism Produced by specific cells involved in repairs and remodeling processes Type II enzyme that contains greater clostripain activity Collagenase is used for collagen structural and biosynthetic studies. For tissue dissociation most researchers employ either crude collagenase preparations or chromatographically purified collagenase combined with other enzymes such as elastase, trypsin, and/or papain. Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum has been used in a study to investigate the survivability of collagen micronetworks in the presence of collagenase. Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum has also been used in a study to investigate the degradation of collagen by the cariogenic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans.
