| Description |
A novel prolyl endoprotease from Aspergillus niger efficiently degrades gluten in a gastrointestinal model, according to a report in the January issue of Gut. If clinical trials bear out the findings, adding the enzyme to gluten-containing meals "might eliminate gluten toxicity, thus offering patients the possibility of abandoning (occasionally) their strict gluten-free diet," write the authors.
