Hippuryl-L-phenylalanine has been used as a substrate for screening carboxypeptidase activity in Trogoderma granarium,[1]Bactrocera oleae Gmelin[2] and Apodiphus amygdali.[3]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hippuryl-L-phenylalanine is a substrate for carboxypeptidase A enzyme.[4]
We have investigated the function of Tyr248 using bovine wild-type CPA and its Y248F and Y248A mutants to find that the K(M) values were increased by 4.5-11-fold and the k(cat) values were reduced by 4.5-10.7-fold by the replacement of Tyr248

This paper presents stable carboxypeptidase A (CPA)-glyoxyl derivatives, to be used in the controlled hydrolysis of proteins. They were produced after immobilizing-stabilizing CPA on cross-linked 6% agarose beads, activated with low and high concentrations of aldehyde groups, and different immobilization

The harmful bloom-forming cyanobacterium Planktothrix is commonly considered to be nutritionally inadequate for zooplankton grazers, resulting in limited top-down control. However, interactions between Planktothrix and zooplankton grazers are poorly understood. The food quality of Planktothrix is potentially constrained by morphological
