The enzyme was a cystein protease with a molecular mass of 45 kDa. The activity was inhibited by divalent metal chelators and its inhibition was recovered by the addition of Ca^<2+>. The optimum pH for activity was 7.0-7.5 and the enzyme was inactivated by heating at 60℃ for 10 min. It hydrolyzed actively azocoll and hide powder besides gelatin. Hydrolysis of type IV collagen, if not strong, was also observed., application/pdf}, pages = {180--184}, title = {Isolation and Properties of an Extracellular Gelatinase from a Strain of Prevotella intermedia Which Coelaborates Elastase}, volume = {20}, year = {1994} }
