Enzima que cataliza la ruptura de los enlaces peptídicos, siempre que el sustrato contenga un grupo carboxilo libre; la hidrólisis de enlace peptídico contiguo a ese grupo libera un aminoácido, se emplea para determinar la secuencia en aminoácidos de los péptidos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - carboxipeptidasa

The C-terminal amino acid of peptides can be reduced with lithium borohydride to the corresponding [alpha]-amino alcohol. If the peptide chain is then completely hydrolyzed, the hydrolyzate will contain one molecule of an [alpha]-amino alcohol corresponding to the original C-terminal amino acid. This can be easily identified by chromatographic methods; all the other residues will be found as free amino acids. 1, record 3, English, - C%2Dterminal%20amino%20acid

L'aminoacide C-terminal d’un peptide peut être sélectivement éliminé de la chaîne par l'action d’un enzyme, la carboxypeptidase, qui attaque spécifiquement l'extrémité C-terminale des peptides. Un inconvénient de cette méthode est que l'enzyme, après avoir éliminé le résidu C-terminal, attaque le nouvel aminoacide C-terminal lié au peptide. 1, record 3, French, - aminoacide%20C%2Dterminal
