Papain that had been irreversibly inhibited with 1,3-dibromo[2-(14)C]acetone was reduced with sodium borohydride and carboxymethylated with iodoacetic acid. After digestion with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin the radioactive peptides were purified chromatographically. Their amino acid composition indicated that cysteine-25 and histidine-106 were cross-linked. Since cysteine-25 is known to be the active-site cysteine residue, histidine-106 must be the active-site histidine residue.
用1,3 - 二溴[2 - (14)C]丙酮不可逆抑制的木瓜蛋白酶用硼氢化钠还原,并用碘乙酸进行羧甲基化。用胰蛋白酶和α - 糜蛋白酶消化后,通过色谱法纯化放射性肽段。它们的氨基酸组成表明半胱氨酸 - 25和组氨酸 - 106发生了交联。由于已知半胱氨酸 - 25是活性位点的半胱氨酸残基,所以组氨酸 - 106必定是活性位点的组氨酸残基。
