Investigations on Plasmin. I. On the Proteolytic Activity of Plasmin.

Abstract

The activity and stability of some plasmin prepns. were detd., using the equation for the viscometric method of Hultin. The plasmin activity (I) decreases with time, then increases above the original activity and decreases again to a minimum. I decreases, then plasminogen (II) is activated, increasing I until all the II is converted to plasmin; thereafter the I gradually decreases.
