A direct UV-VIS spectrophotometric assay has been developed for peptide deformylase. This assay employs a novel class of peptide mimetics as deformylase substrates which, upon enzymatic removal of the Nterminal formyl group, rapidly release free thiols. The released thiols are quantitated using Ellm
Furanacryloyl tripeptides conforming to the known substrate specificity of the angiotensin converting enzyme (dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, EC 3.4.15.1) have been employed to provide a continuous spectrophotometric assay for this peptidase in the visible region. The assay is based on a blue shift of
