title: Novel fluorogenic substrates containing bimane system for microdetermination of angiotensin I converting enzyme.
abstract: As a sensitive fluorometric assay for the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme, bimane-peptides containing tryptophan, i.e., 1,7-dioxo-2,5,6-trimethyl-1H,7H-pyrazolo [1,2-a]pyrazol-3-yl-methylthiomethylcarbonyl-glycyl (or L-phenylalanyl)-L-tryptophyl-L-leucine (or L-proline), were synthesized and shown to be potent fluorogenic substrates for the micro-determination of angiotensin I converting enzyme activity.
