  In vitro Simulation of Gastric and Pancreatic Phase Digestion of Meat and Bone Meal: Studies of Enzyme Autolysis
It was demonstrated that the deactivation of pepsin took the form of autolysis.
The higher the concentration, the slower the autolysis was.
This negligence of autolysis should result in overestimation of digestible amino acids, particularly when relatively a large quantity of enzymes is used.

By autolysis old structures are torn down, stored materials are digested and prepared for new use, the materials are shifted from one part of the organism to another.
The fact that autolysis is a rigidly controlled and not a haphazard process, is our guarantee that the vital tissues of the body will not be sacrificed during even prolonged abstinence from food.
Fasting, by which autolysis of tumors is accelerated, normalizes nutrition and permits the elimination of accumulated toxins, thus helping to remove the cause of the tumor.

Autolysis yield was calculated as the fraction of solids recovered in the centrifugation supernatants, from the initial yeast solids.
Autolysis yields of the two types of yeasts at 45, 48 and 51ºC were not significantly different, so a range of 45 to 51ºC could be used for the autolysis procedure (Table 4).
Mixing the two yeasts was beneficial for subsequent autolysis yields, and the maximum yield was obtained with the co-autolysis of a combination of 60% bakers' yeasts and 40% brewers' yeasts (Table 6).

Autolysis alone caused an increase to 33.5 ± 7.7 ng/mL, and freezing alone to 13.4 ± 5.3 ng/mL.
Concerning the values of noradrenaline in the vitreous, the increase as a result of autolysis must be taken in account when interpreting the results.

Increasing the erythrocyte Ca2+ induced translocation of calpain to the cell membrane and autolysis of the enzyme.
The enhanced calpain autolysis was accompanied by enhanced degradation of band 3 protein in the old.
The results suggest that calpain in old individuals is translocated to the cell membrane and is activated by autolysis, resulting in degradation of certain membrane proteins and loss of calpain.

Autolysis is important for the regulation of trypsin levels within living organisms.
The rate of autolysis is dependent upon Ca concentration; the mechanism by which Ca binding affects autolysis is still unknown.
As the mutant trypsin was resistant to autolysis and does not need Ca to protect it from autolysis, the protein was found to be almost completely insensitive to the presense of Ca Finally, the loss of activity of wild-type trypsin can be explaned by the disruption of this

At the point of death, the supply of oxygen to the muscle tissue is interrupted because the blood is no longer pumped by the heart and is not circulated through the gills where, in the living fish, it becomes enriched with oxygen.
(1992) found that autolysis of the visceral cavity (belly-bursting) of herring was related more to physical handling practices than to biological factors such as fish size, amount of red feed in the gut or roe content.
It is likely that this enzyme contributes more to autolysis of fish muscle than cathepsin D since it is far more active at neutral pH, and has been shown to digest both myofibrillar proteins (actomyosin) as well as connective tissue.

 FIXATION and FIXATIVES © Woods and Ellis 2000
Once tissues are removed from the body, they undergo a process of self-destruction or autolysis which is initiated soon after cell death by the action of intracellular enzymes causing the breakdown of protein and eventual liquefaction of the cell.
Autolysis is independent of any bacterial action, retarded by cold, greatly accelerated at temperatures of about 30°C and almost inhibited by heating to 50°C. Autolysis is more severe in tissues which are rich in enzymes, such as the liver, brain and kidney, and is less rapid in tissues such as elastic fibre and collagen.
Such bacteria may normally be present in the body during life such as the non-pathogenetic organisms present in the bowel, or may be present in diseased tissues at the time of death such as in septicaemia.

Four primary PR autolysis sites were blocked via substitution of either the P1 amino acid with a beta-branched amino acid or the P1' amino acid with lysine.
An autolysis time course determined that blocking all four primary autolysis sites yielded a cleavage-resistant PR which was enzymatically stable.
Concomitant with autolysis is the generation of an N-terminally truncated form of the PR (Thr6/PR) which has enhanced stability with respect to that of FIV PR.

To avoid autolysis I will often rack into a secondary while the mead is still vigorously fermenting if I think too large a yeast bed is forming and I get worried about autolysis.

The favorable process can occur in wines that are aged sur lie ("on the lees").
Certain wines such as chardonnay or sauvignon blanc benefit from autolysis because they gain complexity during the process that enhances their structure and mouthfeel, give them extra body, and increase their aromatic complexity.
Aging sur lie is usually done with an accompanying regime of periodic lees stirring that can result in a creamy, viscous mouthfeel.
