title: [Recent data on the structure and function of collagenases].
abstract: Four research projects on bacterial and vertebrate collagenases and their therapeutical application are discussed: induction of the production of a bacterial collagenase, proteolytic specificity of the two types of collagenases, their structure-function relations, and the application of the bacterial collagenase in the treatment of burns and ulcers.
