Abstract

Phenyl sulfite is a specific substrate for pepsin, whose hydrolysis can be followed spectrophotometrically. This compound is superior to peptide substrates in its ease of synthesis and its ability to be monitered spectrophotometrically. The sulfite assay is therefore the method of choice for both routine and detailed assays of pepsin.
