DEF

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.

Des études in vitro démontrent que l'action bactéricide du céfuroxime résulte de l'inhibition des enzymes transpeptidase et carboxypeptidase diminuant ainsi la synthèse de la paroi cellulaire.

Record 3 1994-02-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

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.
