Coagulase suffix

edit

Where did the -ase suffix originate from, since coagulase does not break clots?

You've got me, but if you find out, be sure and share it with us! InvictaHOG 03:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The ase suffix denotes any enzyme not just catabolism-associated enzymes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.165.249 (talk) 07:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Organisms that produce coagulases

edit

It is probably not accurate to state that coagulase is [only] produced by Staphylococcus aureus. I'm currently writing an article on the Russell's viper, and apparently, among other toxins, its venom is also known to contain coagulases. In addition, I would guess that Daboia russelii and S. aureus are not the only organisms capable of producing this enzyme. --Jwinius 15:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


coagulase is NOT an enzyme

edit

It is an extracellular protein which binds to prothrombin forming staphylothrombin. After that, the Enzyme Protease is activated within this complex, perfoming the fibriogen to fibrin conversion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.25.193.56 (talk) 11:22, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
