title: [A possible approach to the analysis of protease mixtures].
abstract: A problem of quantitative assay of proteases in complex mixtures is solved by using a set of peptide substrates with detectable (chromogenic or fluorogenic) groups (DGs). Quantitation of separate DGs released in reaction of enzyme mixture with a set of substrates is carried out in chromatographic analysis of reaction products. Reaction of peptide derivatives of aminonaphthalene sulfamides with a mixture of thrombin and proteases from viper venom shows the amounts of produced DGs to be proportional to the amounts of both thrombin and venom proteases, confirming the validity of proposed approach. There are cases of mutual influence of some components in proteases mixtures as illustrated by inhibition of trypsin activity in presence of viper venom; one determines enzyme activities in this specific mixture rather than their amounts.
