Abstract:
Both of alpha-chymotrypsin and papain were active in hydrolysis of proteins by temperature, acid and alkali proteins. Alpha-chymotrypsin hydrolysed protein better than papain. They were effective in digestion of mouse protein in inflamed tissue by Kaolin, Dextran and Formal in different level according this increasing order: Kaolin < Dextran < Formal. -chymotrypsin was better than papaine in hydrolysis of protein in inflamed tissue. Therefore, we can explain the anti inflammatory characters of those enzymes.
