Abstract
Benzyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-arginine 4-methyl-7-coumarylamide was found to be an excellent substrate for the fluorimetric assay of cathepsin B, and arginine 4-methyl-7-coumarylamide for cathepsin H. Procedures were developed that are very convenient, and avoid the hazards associated with the use of naphthylamides.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
