Abstract
The ability of Cynara cardunculus L. protease to perform peptide synthesis was investigated using an aqueous organic biphasic system and the amino acid derivatives CBZ.Phe and Met.OMe. The reaction products were separated by RP-HPLC and identified by amino acid analysis and by EI-MS. Significant amounts of the dipeptide CBZ.Phe.Met.OMe was produced within 24h by Cynara cardunculus L. protease as compared with the amount produced by pepsin under the same conditions.
