We have designed two radioactive substrates, hippuryl-L-[3H]phenylalanine and 3-(p-hydroxy, m-[125I]phenyl)propionic acid ([125I]Bolton reagent) derivative of L-arginyl-L-phenylalanine, i.e. [125I]BRF, for a highly sensitive assay of carboxypeptidase A (CPA) activity. After cleavage of the C-terminal phenylalanine residue by CPA, the radioactive product

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

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

Carboxypeptidase A was incubated at -60 degrees C with an excess of O-(trans-p-chlorocinnamoyl)-L-phenyllactate, O-(hippuryl)-glycolate or N-(hippuryl)-L-phenylalanine. After rapid denaturation with trichloracetic acid the precipitated protein was reduced with [3H]NaCNBH3. 3H Labeled enzyme was isolated by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-25.
