We describe the process of certification for a gamma-glutamyltransferase reference material (CRM no. 319). Fifteen laboratories participated to this interlaboratory evaluation. All steps of the measurements were controlled in an effort to locate potential sources of variations. In particular, the
Previously selected by the combinatorial chemistry approach, potent fluorogenic substrate of proteinase 3 was used as the starting structure to design new substrates. The general formula of the synthesized peptides is as follows: ABZ-Tyr-Tyr-Abu-ANB-X-NH(2), where ANB (5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid) served as
Conjugated bile acid hydrolase (CBAH) refers to a class of enzymes which catalyze the cleavage of the amino acid moieties from conjugated bile acids. These enzymes are significant because of their role in providing substrates for further microbial metabolism in

A tetrapeptide combinatorial library, considered as chromogenic substrates of bovine beta-trypsin, was synthesized by the solid phase method. The peptides contain an analog of p-nitroanilide, obtained by attaching 5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid (Anb(5,2)) to the C-termini. Deconvolution of the peptide library, performed
