SummarySelective, sensitive assays for the quantitation of serine proteases involved in coagulation and fibrinolysis have been developed employing fluorogenic substrates containing a 6-amino-1-naphthalenesulfonamide leaving group (PNS-substrates). Over one hundred substrates were evaluated for hydrolysis by the serine proteases of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, and substrate structure-efficiency correlations were examined. PNS-substrates which contain Lys in the P1 position are specific for Lys-plasmin and are either not hydrolyzed or hydrolyzed at a relatively low rate by factor Xa, thrombin, or urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). These substrates allow quantitation of Lys-plasmin at concentrations as low as 1 pM. Eighteen of over 90 substrates tested for factor XIa are hydrolyzed by this enzyme at a relatively high rate reaching a kcat value of 170 s-1 and allowing quantitation of factor XIa at 10 fM. Eighteen of almost 90 PNS-substrates tested display high specificity for thrombin, some exceeding that for factor Xa by > 10,000-fold and > 100-fold for activated protein C (APC). Seven of these substrates have a over 100 s-1 and three of them have a KM below 1 μM. They allow the quantitation of thrombin at concentrations as low as 20 fM. For APC, uPA and the factor Vila/tissue factor complex, quantitation is feasible at 1 pM concentration. For factor Xa and factor VIIa the limits are 0.4 pM and 40 pM respectively. The PNS-substrates presented in this study may be employed for the development of direct and sensitive serine protease assays.

Papain activity in a buffer containing Me2SO was studied using fluorogenic substrates. It was found that the number of active sites of papain decreases with increasing Me2SO concentration whereas the incubation time, in a buffer containing 3% Me2SO does not affect the number of active sites. However, an increase of papain incubation time in the buffer with 3% Me2SO decreased the initial rate of hydrolysis of Z-Phe-Arg-Amc as well as Dabcyl-Lys-Phe-Gly-Gly-Ala-Ala-Edans. Moreover, an increase of Me2SO concentration in working buffer decreased the initial rate of papain-catalysed hydrolysis of both substrates. A rapid decrease of the initial rate (by up to 30%) was observed between 1 and 2% Me2SO. Application of the Michaelis-Menten equation revealed that at the higher Me2SO concentrations the apparent values of k(cat)/Km decreased as a result of Km increase and kcat decrease. However, Me2SO changed the substrate binding process more effectively (Km) than the rate of catalysis k(cat).
