Product Information

• Name: Z-Val-Leu-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Z-Val-Leu-OH is a model substrate for plant proteases, aminopeptidases and dipeptidases. It has been used as a standard to study the mechanism of hydrolysis by these enzymes. Z-Val-Leu-OH is hydrolyzed by these enzymes at optimally pH 8.0, with the rate increasing with temperature up to 45°C. The hydrolysis of Z-Val-Leu-OH by germination endosperm proteinase is inhibited by hemoglobin, which leads to increased levels of peptides in the endosperm.
