چکیده
was discussed. This compound is a member of a group of organophosphorus insecticides which are powerful inhibitors of cholinesterases. They will also inhibit chymotrypsin, and it has been shown that this inhibition is due to combination of the compounds with a single active centre in the enzyme (Jansen, Nutting & Balls, 1949; Hartley & Kilby, 1952).We investigated the reaction ofchymotrypsin with certain structural analogues of E 600, namely p-nitrophenyl ethyl carbonate (NPC)

A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the assay of chymotrypsin.
For several years this laboratory has been concerned with an investigation of those enzymes in rat skin extracts which, in part at least, comprise the proteolytic enzyme system of this organ (l-5). In certain cases, methods have been proposed for the detection of their individual activities. However, certain contemplated studies, e.g. the possible physiological significance of these proteolytic...
متن کاملThe hydrolysis of carbobenzoxy-L-tyrosine p-nitrophenyl ester by various enzymes.
cY-Chymotrypsin rapidly catalyzes the release of p-nitrophenol from carbobenzoxy-n-tyrosine p-nitrophenyl ester and the reaction has been made the basis of a spectrophotometric assay requiring only millimicrogram quantities of the crystalline enzyme (1). Other nitrophenyl esters, e.g. of acetic acid (2), hydrocinnamic acid (3), and carbobenzoxyglycine (4) are also hydrolyzed by chymotrypsin des...
متن کاملMechanisms of acylation of chymotrypsin by phenyl esters of benzoic acid and acetic acid.
The kinetics of the acylation of alpha-chymotrypsin by a series of substituted phenyl p-nitrobenzoates have been studied by stopped flow and conventional spectrophotometry. Electron withdrawal in the leaving group accelerates the rate of acylation, and the p value obtained for eight esters is +1.96. The pH- and pD-independent acylation rate constants are, respectively, 1.40 X 10(4) M-1S-1 and 1...
متن کاملAnalogues of acetyl chymotrypsin.
Previous papers (1, 2) have reported the acylation of chymotrypsin with several nitrophenyl acetates. It was of obvious interest to test the behavior of nitrophenyl esters of other acids in the same connection. It now appears that chymotrypsin may be acylated by a number of acids differing considerably from acetic acid in structure. Beneoyl and salicyl chymotrypsins were prepared and found to r...
متن کاملDetermination of the operational molarity of solutions of bovine alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, thrombin and factor Xa by spectrofluorimetric titration.
Several esters of 4-methylumbelliferone and 2-naphthol were synthesized and examined as possible spectrofluorimetric titrants for bovine alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, thrombin, Factor Xa and for subtilisin Novo. 4-Methylumbelliferyl p-guanidinobenzoate hydrochloride (MUGB) is a satisfactory titrant for alpha- and beta-trypsin, thrombin and Factor Xa and 4-methylumbelliferyl p-(NNN-trimethylammon...
