The effect of sample viscosity on the deacylation of p-fluoro-trans-cinnamoylchymotrypsin.
The deacylation of p-fluoro-trans-cinnamoylchymotrypsin at pH 5.0 in the presence of variable amounts of polyvinylpyrrolidone has been examined. The sample viscosity at the highest polymer concentration used was over 200 times greater than that of pure buffer but no effects on the deacylation kinetics were observed.
