title: D-penicillamine and enzymatic activities.
abstract: The influence of incubation with D-penicillamine on pure enzyme preparations and on enzymatic activities of serum and skin homogenates was investigated. Three of the nine enzymatic activities studied underwent significant changes. Such effects of D-penicillamine must be taken into consideration if therapeutic or unwanted actions of this drug are to be fully understood; they are elicited by concentrations reached under conditions used for human therapy.
