摘要

The qualitative and quantitative determination of peptide fragments of angiotensin I generated by rat lung dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase (angiotensin converting enzyme, EC 3.4.15.1) is described. Enzymatically formed peptide fragments, after derivatization with fluorescamine, were separated and isolated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The recovered fluorescamine derivative of histidyl-leucine was then further identified by mass spectrometry. It is anticipated that this approach would be widely applicable to other enzyme systems.
