A study of aspartyl proteases using intramolecularly quenched fluorogenic peptide substrates

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry volume 26, pages 169–173 (2000)Cite this article

Abstract

A series of fluorogenic tetra-, penta-, and hexapeptide substrates of the general structure Abz-X-Phe-Phe-Y-Ded or (-pNa in place of -Ded), where X=Ala, Ala-Ala, or Val-Ala and Y=−, Ala, or Ala-Ala, were proposed. Kinetic parameters of hydrolysis of these substrates by pepsin, cathepsin D, human gastricsin, pig pepsin, calf chymosin, and aspergillopepsin A were determined. The compounds synthesized proved to be effective substrates for aspartyl proteases of diverse origins.
