Assay of pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase by high-performance liquid chromatography and its use in peptide sequencing.
Assay of pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase by HPLC methodology allows determination of the kinetic parameters of the enzyme for a variety of natural peptide substrates. Moreover, by this method it is possible both to evaluate the extent of the enzymatic reaction by determining the amount of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid released and to obtain the unblocked peptide for structural and functional characterization.
