Studies on bovine spleen cathepsin D
Acta Biol Med Ger.
1977.
Abstract
The purification procedure of cathepsin D which includes autolysis results in the destruction of the molecule to smaller polypeptide chains. Pure catepsin D obtained by the method which includes affinity chromatography, contains single polypeptide chain of 42000 daltons. The N-terminal amino acid is glycine. The specificity was studied using synthetic substrates. CD measurement of cathepsin D shows mainly unordered structure, about 26% of beta-structure and only 5% of alpha-helix. Binding of pepstatin shows pronounced changes in the CD spectrum between 250 and 300 nm; above 7.5 no interaction was observed.
