Abstract
Two propart peptides of aspartic proteinases. the propart peptide of chicken pepsin and human cathepsin D, respectively, were investigated from the point of view of their inhibitory activity for a set of aspartic proteinases. These peptides display a very broad inhibitory spectrum. The strongest inhibition was observed for pepsin A-like proteinases where propart peptides can be used as titrants of active enzymes.
