The preparations of chymotrypsin C (EC 3.4.21.2) and an acidic endopeptidase from porcine pancreas have been repeated using published procedures. The acidic endopeptidase showed lower activity than chymotrypsin C in all comparative experiments, but it was possible to precipitate a fraction from the acidic endopeptidase preparation which contained all the protein and was identical with chymotrypsin C. It is concluded that the acidic endopeptidase is identical with chymotrypsin C but it is contaminated by an inert non-protein material to which it is firmly bound. The formation of a precipitate, at low ionic strength, from mixtures of chymotrypsin C and elastase (EC 3.4.21.11) is independent of the availability of the active site of either enzyme.
已按照已发表的方法重复制备了胰凝乳蛋白酶C(EC 3.4.21.2)和来自猪胰腺的一种酸性内肽酶。在所有对比实验中,该酸性内肽酶的活性均低于胰凝乳蛋白酶C,但有可能从酸性内肽酶制剂中沉淀出一部分,其包含了所有蛋白质且与胰凝乳蛋白酶C相同。得出的结论是,该酸性内肽酶与胰凝乳蛋白酶C相同,但被一种与之紧密结合的惰性非蛋白质物质所污染。在低离子强度下,胰凝乳蛋白酶C和弹性蛋白酶(EC 3.4.21.11)混合物形成沉淀与这两种酶中任一种酶活性位点的可用性无关。
