By incubation of pepsinogen with pepstatin at pH2.5, the first 'active' protein generated on activation is trapped in an inactive complex. The first activation peptide liberated has been identified as residues 1-16 from the pepsinogen sequence. This suggests a sequential mechanism rather than a one-step formation of pepsin.
通过在pH2.5条件下将胃蛋白酶原与胃蛋白酶抑制剂一起温育,激活时产生的首个“活性”蛋白被困在无活性复合物中。释放出的首个激活肽已被鉴定为胃蛋白酶原序列中的第1-16位残基。这表明是一种顺序机制,而非胃蛋白酶的一步形成机制。
