Abstract
The kinetics of proteolysis of bradykinin and its metabolites in human blood plasma was studied, the limiting stages were determined and each stage of the degradation was correlated with the appropriate plasma enzyme. A scheme of the pathways of major and minor degradation processes has been proposed.Keywords
