[Inhibition of the proteolytic activity of thrombin by methyl esters of arginine-containing oligopeptides].
The kinetics of thrombin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the esters of arginine-containing di- and tripeptides at pH 8.5 and the inhibition of fibrinogen-thrombin reaction by these compounds are studied. The experimentally obtained values of Km, kcat, I50 and the suggestion about the competitive character of the antithrombin action of the peptides allowed the individual kinetic parameters to be calculated. The data obtained indicate that the efficiency of the thrombin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the peptides or a degree of the retardation of the proteolytic activity of thrombin by the esters under investigation depend on the hydrophobicity of the amino acid residues located at subsides P2 and P3 of the peptides. An increase of the hydrophobicity has induced a decrease in the rate constants k2 and k3 and an increase in the inhibition power of the oligopeptides.
