To get a better understanding of the role of the previously reported fibrinogenolytic enzyme of Aspergillus fumigatus, we investigated the in vitro conditions of enzyme synthesis and attempted to characterize it. Modification of the nitrogen source did not influence the
Incubation of cultured hippocampal slices with chloroquine, a compound that increases the pH of acidic subcellular organelles, for 10 h reduced the activity of cathepsin L by 83 +/- 0.87% (mean +/- s.e.m.) while only marginally suppressing cathepsin B. This

The conformations of enzyme inhibitors in solution and bound to the enzyme thermolysin are investigated as a convenient model for understanding the relationship between the conformation of drugs in solution and at the receptor. The solution conformations of carbobenzoxy-L-phenylalanine (I)

The possible role of metalloendoproteinase in stimulus-secretion coupling in adrenal chromaffin cells was examined using the metalloendoproteinase inhibitors 1,10-phenanthroline and carbobenzoxy-Gly-Phe-NH2. Catecholamine release elicited by nicotine or by depolarisation with 55 mM K+ was almost completely abolished by 0.5 mM
The alpha-glyceryl esters of Z-Gly, Z-Phe and Z-Tyr were synthesized and their use for protease catalyzed peptide synthesis was studied. Three enzymes isolated from crude papain were compared in their catalytic potency. Syntheses with alpha-chymotrypsin were performed in a biphasic
