Removal of adsorbed elastase from partially digested elastin
The Biochemical Journal
|June 1, 1976
Abstract:
Bovine ligamentum nuchae elastin that had been partially digested by porcine pancreatic elastase and then thoroughly washed with 0.2 M-NaC1/0.05 M-sodium borate solution continued to release peptide fragments in solution. Complete removal of elastase from the elastin surface required extraction with dilute alkali, a procedure that does not irreversibly inactivate the enzyme or hydrolyse elastin.
