The enzymic activity of noncovalent complexes of alpha-chymotrypsin with polyethylene glycol and a block-copolymer of polyethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide (proxanol) was studied in aqueous-organic media. It was shown that complex formation activated the enzyme in media with a high content of the organic solvent, whereas in systems containing more than 50% water the enzymic activity of complexes was the same as that of the native enzyme. The activation in polyethylene glycol-containing complexes was greater than in complexes with proxanol of the same molecular mass.

D002384 Catalysis The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction. Catalyses
D002918 Chymotrypsin A serine endopeptidase secreted by the pancreas as its zymogen, CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN and carried in the pancreatic juice to the duodenum where it is activated by TRYPSIN. It selectively cleaves aromatic amino acids on the carboxyl side. Alpha-Chymotrypsin Choay,Alphacutanée,Avazyme
D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.
