Résumé

Chymosin, an aspartic protease present in the stomachs of young ruminants like cows (bovine), causes milk coagulation and cheese production through the breakdown of κ-casein peptide bonds at the Met105-Phe106 site. Bovine chymosin is first synthesized as a pre-prochymosin that is cleaved to produce the mature chymosin protein. Despite significant strides in research, our understanding of this crucial enzyme remains incomplete. The purpose of this work was to perform
