| Enzymes with arginine ester hydrolase activity have been partially characterized from the venom of Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen(ACM). Comparisons of the BAEE (N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester) hydrolytic activity of ACM venom and bovine trypsin indicated an enzymatic activities of 60:1 respectively. The BAEE active enzymes from the ACM venom were separated by a combination of gel permeation chromatogratography with BioGel P-100 and ion exchange chromatography with MacroPrep DEAE and CM resins. At least three separate arginine esterase enzymes have been identified and partially characterized by SDS gel electrophoresis. |
