[22] Plasminogen and plasmin

Abstract

Publisher Summary Plasmin is a serine protase with trypsin-like specificity. It cleaves or hydrolyzes proteins and peptides at arginyl and lysyl peptide bonds, and basic amino acid esters, and amides. Plasmin appears to have a preference for lysyl bonds in both protein and ester substrates. Assay methods for plasminogen and plasmin have been devised using both casein (caseinolytic) and fbrin (fibrinolytic) substrates; in the caseinolytic assay, the release of trichloroacetic acid, or perchloric acid, soluble peptides arc measured, and in the fibrinolytic assay, the time of dissolution of the fibrin clot is determined. This chapter describes specific active-site titration methods developed to determine the amount of enzyme in solution. Specific antibody and protein inhibitor assays have also been described. A method for the determination of human plasminogen and plasmin based on the interaction between the zymogen, or enzyme, and streptokinase has been described.
