This book provides an account of the recent advances in our
understanding of the role of proteases under physiological and
pathological conditions. It reviews the contributions that have
been made in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology,
medicine, agriculture and ecology. In addition there is an account
of the growing number of practical applications in biotechnology,
reflecting the fact that peptidases are major targets for medical
and agricultural purposes. The book shows how the numerous protease
structures are essential for drug design. The contributions place
special emphasis on cysteine, aspartic and metalloproteases and
their role in physiological and certain pathological states.
Another focus is the classification and nomenclature of peptidases
and a review of those proteases currently under the most intensive
investigation. The book provides an informative introduction for
teachers and newcomers to the field, such as graduate students,
while providing a valuable source of material and ideas for the
academic and industrial researcher in areas including biochemistry,
medicine, agriculture and biotechnology.

This book contains most of the papers presented . at the Second
International Symposium on Intracellular Protein OItaboiism, which
was held on May 26-30,1975 in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia. The papers
presented in this book cover a wide variety of areas related to
protein turnover and responsible enzymes. The symposium attracted
about one hundred parti cipants, and the cordial atmosphere, the
frank discussions and the exchange of ideas were a stimulant for
all those attending_ During the last decade, investigations in the
wide field of intracellular protein catabolism have been rapidly
taken up in many laboratories, because the mechanisms and
regulation of degradative processes are rather less studied
compared to synthetic processes. In view of this increased
interest, Prof. H. Hanson and his coworkers organized the First
Interna tional Symposium and the papers presented there were
published in the book Intracellular Protein Catabolism, edited by
H. Hanson and P. Bohley. In the preface of this book they
concluded: "We hope, however, the symposium as well as the book
will be the beginning of a series of symposia and their publication
concerning intracellular protein catabolism. " We would like to
express our thanks for financial support provided by the Research
Council of Slovenia. Special thanks are due to the organizing
committee of the symposium, and to Dr. I. Kregar and particularly
Dr. J. Babnik for their efforts in preparing manuscripts for the
publishers."
