Abstract
The present work describes the kinetics of enkephalin hydrolysis by plasma enzymes and the fragmentation pattern of both the parent peptide and of the first hydrolysis by-products. The degradation kinetics were followed by positive identification of the hydrolysis fragments by chromatographic methods, by amino acid analysis and by scintillation counting of tritium-labeled enkephalin. In addition, the results presented confirm the role of the low molecular weight plasma components in the control of the hydrolysis of the peripherally-released enkephalins.Entities:
