Proelastase has been purified to homogeneity from rat pancreatic tissue by a combination of CM-Sephadex and immobilized protease inhibitor affinity resins. Trypsin activation yields an elastolytic enzyme that possesses a specificity toward small hydrophobic residues in synthetic amide substrates, similar

The substrate specificity of human pancreatic elastase 2 was investigated by using a series of peptide p-nitroanilides. The kinetic constants, kcat and Km, for the hydrolysis of these peptides revealed that this serine protease preferentially hydrolyzes peptides containing P1 amino
