Abstract
Bovine descarboxyprothrombin and descarboxyfragment-1 can be used as substrates for rat and bovine vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. In both enzyme systems, these substrates have a high Km (0.3-0.4 mM). A better substrate (Km = 0.001-0.003 mM) was prepared from bovine descarboxyprothrombin by limited proteolysis with subtilisin Carlsberg. This substrate is called Fragment-Su and is composed of the amino acid 13-29 of descarboxyprothrombin.
