iProtease-PseAAC(2L): A two-layer predictor for identifying proteases and their types using Chou's 5-step-rule and general PseAAC.

Proteases are a type of enzymes, which perform the process of proteolysis. Proteolysis normally refers to protein and peptide degradation which is crucial for the survival, growth and wellbeing of a cell. Moreover, proteases have a strong association with therapeutics and drug development.
