Notes:
Summary 1. A comparative study of pig pepsin and the proteolytic enzyme which accompanies it (gelatinase) has been carried out. 2. As shown by paper electrophoresis, gelatinase is a less acidic protein than pepsin. 3. Like pepsin, gelatinase ruptures peptide bonds in hemoglobin, gelatin, and some dipeptides. A special feature of gelatinase is its well-defined capacity for reducing the viscosity of gelatin solutions. The possible causes of the specific nature of the action of gelatinase on gelatin have been considered.
