WERKWIJZE VOOR HET BEREIDEN VAN CHROMOGENE PROTEASE-SUBSTRATEN.

摘要

Serine proteases in a substance such as blood are determined by contacting the substance with a novel chromogenic or fluorgenic substrate for serine proteinases and spectrophotometrically measuring the quantity of a chromophore or fluorescent compound released from the substrate by serine proteases in the substance. The novel substrate has the amino acid sequence-ILe-A-Gly-Arg-wherein A is Asp or Glu substituted in the carboxylic group by esterification or amidation. The novel substrate increases sensitivity and accuracy of the determination.
