Ficain  (Synonyms: Ficin)

Ficain is an enzyme extract composed of several proteases that can be isolated from Ficus hispida L. and the latex of fig (Ficus carica). Ficain has different specificities in different proportions during fruit ripening. Ficain is widely used in protein hydrolysis, food, production of bioactive peptides and antibody fragments^[1][2].

Ficain (0-8 µg/mL) 以酪蛋白为底物，在 280 nm 处测量三氯乙酸滤液的吸光度，检测 Ficin 活性^[2]。
Ficain (0-200 µg/mL) 在 p-nitrophenyl carbobenzoxyglycinate 为底物时，以剂量依赖性方式增加 400 nm 处的吸光度^[2]。
