Pronase E is able to hydrolyze poly‐ L ‐lysine in 100% yield into the monomer L ‐lysine. The experiments show an intermediate production of tri‐ L ‐lysine and di‐ L ‐lysine that are clipped off from the polymeric peptide. During the hydrolytic process a number of characteristic amino acids are released from the enzyme that may indicate its activation. Amino acids as well as mono‐ L ‐lysine are decomposed by pronase E after a period of several days.
