Subtilisin is a serine protease.  The <scene name='User:Tommie_Hata/Introduction_to_Protein_Engineering-Subtilisin/Labeled_active_site/1'>catalytic triad in the active site</scene> is made up of aspartic acid (Asp32), histidine (His64), and serine (Ser221).  Subtilisins are the proteases used in many laundry detergents.  In 2002 alone, 900 tons of subtilisin was produced and used in the EU.

Subtilisin received the first US patent for an engineered protein in 1988.  In this Proteopedia tutorial, we will highlight some of the features of an enzyme engineered for industrial use.
