The substrate specificity of Serratia protease was determined using various synthetic substrates. The enzyme did not participate in the hydrolysis of di- and tri-peptides except benzoylglycylleucinamide which was split at a limited rate into hippuric acid and leucinamide. The enzyme action on larger peptides was also studied. The enzyme cleaved the gly-leu bond in eledoisin related peptide and the gly-phe bond in bradykinin. The enzyme split oxidized insulin B-chain at twelve different peptide bonds.
