L-Pyroglutamyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucine-p-nitroanilide (PFLNA)--a convenient chromogenic substrate for assay of thiol proteinases papain, ficin, and bromelain--was prepared by enzymatic synthesis with chymotrypsin as a catalyst. The thiol proteinases hydrolyze PFLNA with the liberation of p-nitroaniline, estimated spectrophotometrically by its absorbance at 410 nm. The phenylalanine residue in the P2 position of PFLNA meets the specificity demands of thiol proteinases. The following values of Km were found for PFLNA hydrolysis: by papain, 0.34 mM; by ficin, 0.43 mM; by bromelain, 0.30 mM. This substrate was successfully applied to monitor thiol proteinase affinity chromatography on bacitracin-Sepharose, which resulted in a 2- to 4-fold purification from commercial preparations.
