Abstract
The chemical modification of human plasminogen (HPg) was studied with NAI, 1,2-cyclohexanodine, Ch-T, and EDC as the modification reagents on its Tyr, Arg, Met and carboxyl groups. The results indicate that Tyr and Arg residues are not activity dependent groups, while Met and carboxyl groups played an important role on HPg's activity. The kinetic analysis demonstrates that one Met residue and two carboxyl groups are essential for HPg's activity.
