Abstract: | By Q-sepharose column ion-exchange chromatography, alkyl-sepharose column hydrophobic chromatography the purified fibrinogenolytic enzyme was obtained from Agkistrodon halys halys venom. It is a single peptide-chain with molecular weight about 28 kDa. It was founded that this enzyme cleaved A alpha-chain of fibrinogen, pH-optimum was determined in the range of 7.5-8.0. Its fibrinogenolytic activity was estimated 15.6 mM fibrinogen/min per mg protein; caseinolytic activity was estimated 7.5 c.u., and amidolytic activity was 0.325 mM pNA/min/mg and 0.175 mM pNA/min/mg for S2238 and S2251 respectively; K(m) was 5.6 mM. The enzyme activity was inhibited by DFP and benzamidine. These results suggest that the enzyme is serine protease. It inhibited the platelet-aggregation. |
