A metalloexopeptidase is a type of enzyme that acts as a metalloproteinase exopeptidase. These enzymes have a
peptide bonds ending peptide chains. Analogous to slicing the end off a loaf of bread, the process releases a single amino acid
(or dipeptide) for use.
Metallocarboxypeptidase
The terms "metallo carboxypeptidase", "metallo-carboxypeptidase" and "metallocarboxypeptidase" are used to describe a metalloexopeptidase
carboxyl group
(-COOH) at one distinct end of the amino acid chain (cutting one side from a loaf of bread rather than the end).
