Some fruits contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins, to aid in their growth and development, particularly in the context of seed germination and defense against pathogens. For example, fruits like papaya and pineapple produce proteases to help digest proteins in insects and other organisms that may harm them. In contrast, fruits that do not have proteases may rely on different defense mechanisms or have different ecological roles, such as attracting animals for seed dispersal without the need for protein degradation. Ultimately, the presence of proteases in fruit is influenced by their evolutionary adaptations and ecological niches.

What is the formula for protease?

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
