(E)-4-(ethoxymethylene)-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one, commonly referred to as oxazolone, is the most potent skin sensitizer in published databases as determined with the murine local lymph node assay. It has been used very widely in immunological research to induce and elicit skin sensitization reactions
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

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)
Evidence is presented to suggest that kininase activity of Bothrops jararaca plasma is due to the presence of at least three distinct enzymes: a carboxypeptidase B type enzyme, similar to that found in human plasma in that its activity is

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
