CRYSTALLINE ACETYL DERIVATIVES OF PEPSIN

Crystalline pepsin has been acetylated by the action of ketene in aqueous solution at pH 4.07–5.5. As acetylation proceeds the activity decreases, the decrease being more rapid at pH 5.0–5.5 than at 4.0–4.5. Three acetyl derivatives have been isolated from the reaction mixture and obtained in cryst...
