Protease enzymes are of great importance in medicine, industry, and as research tools. Despite the crucial need for detailed knowledge of their proteolytic cleavage specificity, many proteases are poorly characterized. We present a method for fully characterizing the cleavage specificity of proteases through the comprehensive profiling of all possible permutations of octamer peptide substrates in a single experiment. The powerful combination of in vitro selection with high-throughput sequencing, mass spectrometry, and automated motif mining enabled the screening of mixtures of >1012 peptides. We developed freely available software that easily integrates the massive amounts of cleavage data into user-friendly specificity information. We applied this method to three different proteases that had either narrow (factor Xa) or broad specificity (ADAM17 and streptopain). The resulting specificity maps revealed motifs that corroborate canonical known cleavage sites, yet step further into extended spectrum preferences and yield insights into the function of broad specificity proteases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
