Coagulase suffix

Where did the -ase suffix originate from, since coagulase does not break clots?

You've got me, but if you find out, be sure and share it with us! InvictaHOG 03:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The ase suffix denotes any enzyme not just catabolism-associated enzymes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.165.249 (talk) 07:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Organisms that produce coagulases

It is probably not accurate to state that coagulase is [only] produced by Staphylococcus aureus. I'm currently writing an article on the Russell's viper, and apparently, among other toxins, its venom is also known to contain coagulases. In addition, I would guess that Daboia russelii and S. aureus are not the only organisms capable of producing this enzyme. --Jwinius 15:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

coagulase is NOT an enzyme

It is an extracellular protein which binds to prothrombin forming staphylothrombin. After that, the Enzyme Protease is activated within this complex, perfoming the fibriogen to fibrin conversion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.25.193.56 (talk) 11:22, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Sentence

"Tube test is not performed each institutions but most of the result depends on blood cultures from lab." Suggest that someone with knowledge of the subject correct first half and clarify second half. JeffKo427 (talk) 01:01, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
