Abstract

A mixture of proteases from Streptomyces griseus (pronase), displaying a very broad substrate tolerance in the hydrolysis of peptides, has been studied for the first time systematically regarding their substrate specificity in peptide synthesis. It is demonstrated that pronase can be employed successfully for the formation of dipeptides with yields up to 95%. Pronase has also been employed successfully as catalyst for the enzyme assisted synthesis of a hexapeptide.
