Protease is redirected here. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I used to do PhD studies on proteases... and the word "peptidase" exists in the name of a few proteases, but I think it is pretty oldfashioned. Protease was the word we used. / Habj 17:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

- Not all proteases are endopeptidases. Endopeptidases are proteases that cleaves a protein chain in the middle of the sequence, while exoproteases "chews" from the end of the chain. /Habj 00:35, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
- doesn't 'peptidases' refer primarily to the activity of proteases in the stomach? There is an inactive pro-peptidase that is turned into the active peptidase by acid (HCL) in the stomach. I think peptidases don't only inactivate proteins, like a protease does, but splits proteins without specificity into aminoacids --Picobyte 19:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
maybe this link is usefull? Extracellular proteases and their inhibitors ingenetic diseases of the central nervous system [1]
[edit] Possible image
User:TimVickers produced the following image which I nominated for deletion last week because it wasn't being used anywhere. User:Deryck Chan was nice enough to look through my nominations at my request and thought that this one was worth saving, and might be useful on this article. ~ BigrTex 16:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Peptidases
There could easily be a whole artical devoted to peptidases, rather than have it just redirected to this page.
