Summary The activity of the alanine endopeptidase from the intestinal brush border was studied using chromogenic substrates of the general fomula Sc-Ala2-X-pNA, Sc-Y-Z-Ala-pNA and W-Ala3-pNA respectively. Substrates with C-terminal Leu or Nle are hydrolyzed more readily than Ala-analogues. At least one Ala-residue in one of the positions adjacent to the C-terminus is necessary for the enzyme activity. An Na-substituent has no effect on the activity.
