Abstract
1. 1. Proteolytic activity in Crotalus atrox venom includes collagenolytic and trypsin-like enzymatic activities. Venom trypsin-like enzyme was purified free from collagenolytic activity by a pH step followed by electrofocusing. 2. 2. Venom trypsin-like enzyme prepared by electrofocusing neither caused a reduction in specific viscosity of collagen solutions nor catalyzed the degradation of the polypeptide chains of collagen. 3. 3. The results demonstrate that individual venom proteases are responsible for the trypsin-like and collagenolytic activity.
