Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Zymogens are kept from exerting proteolytic activity on intracellular proteins so long as they remain within the cells in which they are made. They are turned on to generate the active form only after they are secreted.... Immobilized enzymes have been used to investigate the activation mechanisms of various kinds of zymogens. For instance, the activation mechanism of chymotrypsinogen to chymotrypsin was investigated using trypsin immobilized by diazo binding with p-aminobenzyl cellulose or with CM-cellulose azide. 5, record 1, English, - zymogen
