SummaryTreatment of human and dog oxalated plasma with 0.2 to 1.0 × 10−1 M 2.3-dithiopropanol (BAL) or dithiothreitol (DTT) at 2–4° C for 30 min results in the reduction of the vitamin-K dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX and X to the respective-SH derivatives. The reaction is pH dependent. Under aerobic conditions the delayed one stage prothrombin time can be partly reversed. Under anaerobic conditions a gradual prolongation of the one stage prothrombin time occurs without reversal.In very diluted plasma treated with the dithiols, prothrombin can be converted into thrombin if serum as source of active factors VII and X is added. In contrast SH factors VII, IX and X are inactive in the specific tests. Reoxidation to active factors II, VII, IX and X takes place during adsorption and elution of the SH derivatives. The experiments have indicated that not only factor II but also factors VII, IX and X have active-S-S-centres.

A post-proline endopeptidase (EC 3.4.21.26) was isolated from pig kidneys using a modified method described earlier. The enzyme was further purified by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel. The final product contained about 95% of post-proline endopeptidase. The enzyme molecule consisted of one peptide chain with a relative molecular mass of 65 600 to 70 000, containing a large proportion of acidic and alifatic amino acids (glutamic acid, aspartic acid and leucine) and the N-terminus was formed by aspartic acid or asparagine. In order to prevent losses of enzyme activity, thiol compounds has to be added.

Oxidative protein folding is a biological process to obtain a native conformation of a protein through disulfide-bond formation between cysteine residues. In a cell, disulfide-catalysts such as protein disulfide isomerase promote the oxidative protein folding. Inspired by the active sites of the disulfide-catalysts, synthetic redox-active thiol compounds have been developed, which have shown significant promotion of the folding processes. In our previous study, coupling effects of a thiol group and guanidyl unit on the folding promotion were reported. Herein, we investigated the influences of a spacer between the thiol group and guanidyl unit. A conjugate between thiol and guanidyl units with a diethylene glycol spacer (GdnDEG-SH) showed lower folding promotion effect compared to the thiol–guanidyl conjugate without the spacer (GdnSH). Lower acidity and a more reductive property of the thiol group of GdnDEG-SH compared to those of GdnSH likely resulted in the reduced efficiency of the folding promotion. Thus, the spacer between the thiol and guanidyl groups is critical for the promotion of oxidative protein folding.
