Abstract
Summary
The effects of pH and of 1% NaCl and human serum on the elastolytic activity of 10 microbial enzyme preparations were determined and compared with those previously reported for pancreatic elastase and Flavobacterium elastase. The pH optima and the NaCl inhibition of the microbial enzymes showed similarity with pancreatic elastase rather than Flavobacterium elastase, but serum inhibition was less pronounced.
