Also provided are methods for the production of the aspartic protease, including recombinant plasmids, transformants, and a purification method thereof; methods of using the aspartic protease to prepare drugs and oral enzyme supplements for treatment of diseases or discomforts related to gluten ingestion, such as celiac disease; and a method of using the asparic protease in food-processing process to remove or reduce gluten in foods or beverages.

Abstract: A screw locking unit structure includes a screw main body having a head portion, a stem portion extended from a lower side of the head portion, a first screw locking section located below the stem portion, and a second screw locking section located below the first screw locking section; and an elastic element being externally fitted around the stem portion. The first screw locking section and the second screw locking section are externally provided with a first and a second male thread, respectively. The first and the second male thread are structurally different from one another to not only enable the screw main body to be temporarily held to an assembling interface before the latter is screw locked in place later, but also provide a function of stopping screwing automatically to prevent the second locking section extended through the assembling interface from being excessively screwed into a heat source.
