nptosylglyprolyspna (acetate)

N-p-Tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys-pNA is a colorimetric substrate for plasmin.1,2,3Plasmin binds and hydrolyzes N-p-tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys-pNA to releasep-nitroanilide (pNA), which can be quantified by colorimetric detection at 405 nm as a measure of plasmin activity. 1.Jespersen, J., Gram, J., and Astrup, T.The autodigestion of human plasmin follows a bimolecular mode of reaction subject to product inhibitionThromb.
