1. Complexes of human trypsin and human granulocyte elastase with alpha1-anti-trypsin and alpha2-macroglobulin were isolated and injected intravenously into human volunteers. 2. The elimination of alpha2-macroglobulin complexes with trypsin and elastase followed single-exponential functions with half-lives of 9 and 12 min respectively. The complexes showed no tendency to dissociate. 3. Complexe...

The data indicate that trypsin-Sepharose has markedly different inhibition kinetics from trypsin in free solution. The Sepharose granules (i) offer protection from inhibition in the first place (e.g. for active-site titrants; Fig. Id) and/or (ii) facilitate the displacement of inhibitor from trypsin by excess substrate (Figs. la, Ib and Ic). It would seem that when an inhibitor such as ovomucoi...

In human serum there are two protein fractions that are potent inhibitors to trypsin. These inhibitors travel with the a1-globulin and a2-globulin fractions when serum proteins are separated by electrophoresis (1-3). One ml of normal serum has sufficient amounts of trypsin inhibitor to neutralize the proteolytic effect of 1.15 (± 0.10) mg of crystalline trypsin. Approximately 90 per cent of the...

A new crystalline protein, chymo-trypsinogen, has been isolated from acid extracts of fresh cattle pancreas. This protein is not an enzyme but is transformed by minute amounts of trypsin into an active proteolytic enzyme called chymo-trypsin. The chymo-trypsin has also been obtained in crystalline form. The chymo-trypsinogen cannot be activated by enterokinase, pepsin, inactive trypsin, or calc...

Water-soluble bioadhesive polymers bearing multiple guanidinium ion (Gu+) pendants at their side-chain termini (Glue n -BA, n = 10 and 29) that were conjugated with benzamidine (BA) as a trypsin inhibitor were developed. The Glue n -BA molecules are supposed to adhere to oxyanionic regions of the trypsin surface, even in buffer, via a multivalent Gu+/oxyanion salt-bridge interaction, such that ...

The purification procedure of Hyd-2-type [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Citrobacter sp. S-77 was improved by applying treatment with trypsin before chromatography. Purified protein samples both with and without trypsin treatment were successfully crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method with polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. Both crystals belonged to space group P21, with unit-c...

Tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) is a low-molecular-weight (6 kDa) trypsin inhibitor that has been used as a marker for ovarian cancer. It is also expressed together with tumor-associated trypsin by many other tumors, and increased serum concentrations of TATI occur in connection with these. TATI is a prognostic marker for ovarian, bladder, and kidney cancer, which may be associated wi...

The activity of crystalline trypsin and the trypsin-like amidase activity and the activity of trypsin inhibitors in serum were measured fluorometically, with a-benzoyl--L-arginine--na phthylamide (BANA) as substrate. The method is simpler and more sensitive than the colorimetric method based on the Bratton-Marshall reaction. Serum of pancreatectomized dogs hydrolyzed BANA at a significant rate,...

The effectiveness of an enzymatic cocktail, collagenase and trypsin, on the absorptive function of ilealsegment was studied to evaluate the changes within groups after performing ileocystoplasty in an animalmodel. Twenty-one female mixed-bred Persian dogs were randomized into 7 groups. The groups included: 1) negative control group (NCG) in which no ileocystoplasty was performed (n = 3); 2) pos...
