Abstract

An isolated and purified enzyme exhibiting protease activity at a pH of 4-7 which exhibits protease in 5% hydrogen peroxide and which is encoded by a DNA sequence which hybridizes to a DNA sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2. Methods are described for using the protease compositions in reducing vescosity, cleaning contact lenses, baking, and preparing animal feed.
