Creatine kinase conversion factor has been isolated from human serum and purified to electrophoretic and chromatographic homogeneity. The enzyme sequentially converts creatine kinase MM3 to MM2 and MM1 and hydrolyzes lysine and arginine from hippuryl-L-lysine and hippuryl-L-arginine. Data on molecular

A rapid and sensitive method for measuring carboxypeptidase N (CPN) activity in human plasma is described. The procedure is based on the hydrolysis of a high-specificity/low-affinity substrate, hippuryl-L-lysine, to its products hippuric acid and lysine. The substrate and product are

The effect of partially purified 'creatine kinase conversion factor' on rabbit muscle creatine kinase is shown to be that of a carboxypeptidase, removing the C-terminal lysine residue from both subunits. These changes fully explain the three-banded electrophoretic patterns of the

2-Hydroxyheptanal (2-HH) is one of the major aldehydes derived from peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the present study, to obtain an insight into the contributions of 2-HH to protein modifications during lipid peroxidation, a lysine-containing dipeptide, N(alpha)-hippuryllysine (N-benzoylglycyl-L-lysine, BGL)
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1126, 248-252 (2008-05-02)
Mixtures of N alpha-hippurylarginin, N alpha-hippuryllysine, and glyoxal were incubated in the absence and presence of N alpha-acetylcysteine in order to assess the individual reactivity of these nucleophilic amino acid residues. The incubations were performed under atmospheric and high hydrostatic
