Kinetic parameters were estimated for the tryptic hydrolyses of (alpha)-N-p-tosyl arginine methyl ester and serum thymic factor. Several sequential reactions during the tryptic hydrolysis of mastoparan and the hydrolysis of bradykinin by carboxypeptidase Y were monitored by the real-time fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry method.
