Abstract: | The advanced stages of the digestion of bovine fibrinogen by trypsin and by plasmin have been investigated. The fragmentation of the molecule has a nearly identical course with the two enzymes, however, plasmin accomplishes the same result by cleaving only 1/2 to 2/3 as many bonds as trypsin. The advanced digestion can be divided into two stages. First, fragment D formed during the early part of the reaction is transformed into a number of successively lower molecular weight subspecies, with accompanying liberation of peptides of lower than 16,000 molecular weight. Second, in a very slow process, the products of the preceding stage are broken up into a homogeneous mixture of fragments encompassing a wide range of molecular weights. Fragment E remains unchanged during the whole process. |
