The 5th International Conference on Aspartic Proteinases was held
on September 19 through 24, 1993, at Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical
Science and Industry, Kawashima cho, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, about
15 miles northwest of Nagoya City. About 100 scientists attended
the conference, including 52 from 14 countries outside Japan, and
32 papers were presented by invited speakers, and 58 papers as
posters. The purpose of this conference was to present and discuss
new information on the structure, function, and biology, and
related topics, including biomedical implications, of aspartic
proteinases, and this book is a collec tion of nearly all the
papers presented at the meeting. Aspartic proteinases belong to one
of the four major classes of proteinases, the others being serine,
cysteine, and metalloproteinases, and are so called since they have
two catalytic aspartic acid residues in common in their active
sites. Most of them are optimally active at acidic pH, hence the
long-used name "acid proteinases," which, indeed, was the major
title of the first conference of this series. However, some of them
are active at around neutral pH, indicating their physiological
roles in a wider range of pH than hitherto considered.
