Protease is an enzyme. It is essentially a protein. Protease is not a compound and therefore its formula cannot be given out. Protease are a class of enzymes involved in digesting proteins. The basic mode of action can be described as: Protein + Protease -----> Digested protein + protease Since enzymes do not react in a biochemical reaction (they are merely catalysis), protease appears on both sides of the reaction shown above


Who or what are the Protease?

It depends on how you are using the term protease. Do you mean "protease" or "pro tease?" A protease is an enzyme. Many enzyme names end in -ase. This tips you off, enzyme. A protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins. A pro tease, on the other hand, generally works for dollar bills and makes a decent living to support one and sometimes two.
