Papain was irreversibly inhibited by 1,3-dibromoacetone, a reagent designed to react first with the active-site cysteine residue and subsequently with a second nucleophile. The molecular weight of the inhibited enzyme was indistinguishable from that of papain itself, and no evidence

Four novel amino acid-functionalised triphenylenes have been prepared with glycine, l-alanine, l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan ethyl ester side-chains. The glycine derivative is a good gelator of chloroform, the alanine derivative gels ethanol and toluene, and the phenylalanine derivative gels benzene and
