Abstract
An affinity polymer derivative was synthesized with the group specific acid protease inhibitor pepstatin attached to dextran (M.W. 500,0001). This derivative was used in an aqueous two-phase system with hydroxypropyldextran to purify crude solutions of chymosin and Endothia parasitica (EP) acid proteases. Chymosin was purified by a factor of 6.2 with an overall yield of 83%. EP protease was similarly purified. A new pepstatin binding protease was discovered in crude EP extracts.
