Aminopeptidase Activity of Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma bovirhinis, Mycoplasma dispar and Mycoplasma bovis [PDF]
Aminopeptidase activity was demonstrated in extracts of Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma bovirhinis, M. bovis and M. dispar. The enzyme specificity, which differed amongst the mycoplasma species examined, was characterized using 19 aminoacyl-beta-naphthylamides as substrates.
