Summary
The relative rate of cleavage by collagenase of three new synthetic substrates-(glycyl-prolyl-alanine)2, (glycyl-prolyl-glycine)2, and (glycyl-prolyl-hydroxyproline)2-has been studied. These substrates, which simulate the amino acid sequences within the “pseudocrystalline” zones of collagen, are cleaved by collagenase at different rates.
