Summary
The reaction of chymotrypsin with a number of modified analogs of the specific inhibitor of chymotrypsin L-1-tosylamido-2-phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone has been studied; the compounds investigated were D-1-tosylamido-2-phenethyl chloromethyl ketone, phenethyl chloromethyl ketone (PECK), and benzylethyl chloromethyl ketone (BCMK).
It has been shown that D-TAPK does not possess inhibiting activity. The inhibiting capacity of PECK is considerably reduced. A simultaneous decrease in the length of the carbon chain and the elimination of the tosylamino group (BCMK) practically destroys the inhibiting action of the reagent.
