Abstract excerpt
The importance of substrate residues P2' and P3' on thrombin catalysis has been investigated by comparing the hydrolysis of a series of fluorescence-quenched substrates. Each consisted of a 10-residue peptide, carrying a 2-aminobenzoyl (Abz) group at the N-terminus, and a penultimate 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp) derivatized lysine. Cleavage of such a peptide relieves the intramolecularly-quenched fluorescence,...
