Kinetics of autocatalytic zymogen activation measured by a coupled reaction: pepsinogen autoactivation

A kinetic study was performed of a model for an autocatalytic zymogen activation process involving both intra- and intermolecular routes, to which a chromogenic reaction in which the active enzyme acts upon one of its substrates was coupled to continuously monitor the reaction...
