Abstract: A review of the conservation and enzymology literature is offered in order to characterize the use of proteolytic and starch-digesting enzymes in paper conservation. Results from experiments designed to test the effects of enzymes on aged papers are presented. A protease new to the conservation field was used in these tests.
