    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Enzymology
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Proteinases play crucial roles in biological processes.
    • Accurate quantification of low proteinase activity is essential for various applications.
    • Existing methods may face limitations with complex samples.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a new quantitative method for determining low proteinase activities.
    • To establish a reliable assay for proteinase quantification in complex protein-containing substrates.
    • To overcome limitations of current proteinase activity assays.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a method based on streptokinase inactivation.
    • Monitored inactivation by measuring the reduction in fibrinolysis.
    • Utilized the direct proportionality between streptokinase half-life and proteinase concentration.

    Main Results:

    • Established a quantitative method for low proteinase activity determination.
    • Demonstrated that streptokinase half-life is directly proportional to proteinase concentration (1-500 min interval).
    • Confirmed that the method is unaffected by other proteins or colored substances in the sample.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides accurate quantification of low proteinase activities.
    • This assay is robust and suitable for complex biological samples like culture filtrates.
    • The method offers a sensitive and reliable approach for proteinase analysis.
