Model studies of carboxypeptidase A

TL;DR: In this article, the catalytic roles of the Glu-270 carboxylate group and the metal ion are investigated in a bifunctional CPA system, where both the carboxyclic and anionic forms of Glu 270 are present.

Inhibition of carboxypeptidase a by N-(4-t-Butylbenzoyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde hydrazone

TL;DR: Molecular modeling studies suggest that N-(4-t-Butylbenzoyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde hydrazone may inhibit CPA by binding to the S1 and S2 subsites of free CPA as well as to the CPA-phenylalanine binary enzyme-product complex.

Equilibrium studies on metal-peptide systems—I: Polarographic determination of association constants of cadmium(II), zinc(II) and lead(II) complexes of glycylgycine

TL;DR: In this article, the equilibria involved in the association of Cd2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ with glycylglycine have been investigated polarographically (at 25°C).

On the Mechanism of Accelaration of Carboxypeptidase A Activity

TL;DR: A number of peptides derivatives were found to increase the peptides activity of caboxypeptidase A towards benzyloxycarbonyl-depeptides, and studies indicate that an EA complex is formed, and that EA reacts with S to form an active ternary complex, EAS.
