Porcine liver aminopeptidase B [EC 3.4.11.6] is highly specific for hydrolysis of β-naphthyl-amides of basic L-amino acids; the Km values for L-arginine β-naphthylamide and L-lyslneβ-naphthylamide were 0.035 and 0.12 mM, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by various α-amino acids. Among basic am...
