title: Studies on a new proteolytic enzyme from Achromobacter lyticus M497-1. II. specificity and inhibition studies of Achromobacter protease I.
abstract: The unique specificity of Achromobacter protease I for lysine residue was investigated using synthetic and natural substrates, i.e., lysine derivatives, arginine derivatives, lysine vasopressin, substance P, ACTH and insulin. The enzyme cleaved only the -Lys-X- bonds in the above substrates. The binding affinity of alkylamines as determined by Ki was much stronger than that of the corresponding alkylguanidines.
