Subsites in the S2-S4 region were identified in human plasma kallikrein. Kinetic constants (kcat., Km) were determined for a series of seven extended N-aminoacyl-L-arginine methyl esters based on the C-terminal sequence of bradykinin (-Pro-Phe-Arg) or (Gly)n-Arg. The rate-limiting step for the enzyme-catalysed reaction was found to be deacylation of the enzyme. It was possible to infer that hydrogen-bonded interactions occur between substrate and the S2-S4 region of kallikrein. Insertion of L-phenylalanine at residue P2 demonstrates that there is also a hydrophobic interaction with subsite S2, which stabilizes the enzyme-substrate complex. The strong interaction demonstrated between L-proline at residue P3 and subsite S3 is of greatest importance in the selectivity of human plasma kallikrein. The purification of kallikrein from Cohn fraction IV of human plasma is described making use of endogenous Factor XIIf to activate the prekallikrein. Kallikreins I (Mr 91 000) and II (Mr 85 000) were purified 170- and 110-fold respectively. Kallikrein I was used for the kinetic work.

The rate of hydrolysis of S2O82- ions in acidic medium to peroxomonosulphuric acid was measured at 20 and 30 °C. The composition of the starting solution corresponded to the anolyte flowing out from an electrolyser for production of this acid or its ammonium salt at various degrees of conversion and starting molar ratios of sulphuric acid to ammonium sulphate. The measured data served to calculate the rate constants at both temperatures on the basis of the earlier proposed mechanism of the hydrolysis, and their dependence on the ionic strength was studied.

Abstract The substance BK 129 - 1-[2-(2-pentyloxyphenylcarbamoyloxy)-(2-methoxymethyl)-ethyl]-perhydroazepinium chloride was prepared in terms of influence of the connecting chain between the carbamate functional group and the basic part of molecule on biological activity. Such a structural feature is important with regard to its stability. In this work we determined the rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of this compound at increased temperature under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The hydrolysis was also performed in buffer solutions with the purpose of evaluating its stability. Non-isothermal tests of stability enable to reduce the number of analyses. The necessary data for stability of compound are in this way achieved in a short time.
