The primary structure of the human plasmin B-chain has been determined. It consists of 230 residues divided in three cyanogen bromide fragments: The amino-terminal 24 residues, the carboxy-terminal three residues and the middle 203 residues. Sequence detemination was performed on the tryptic and the chymotryptic peptides obtained from the main cyanogen bromide fragment of this chain. Owing to similarities between some of the overlapping chymotryptic peptides, two different sequences were possible from these results. However, since the homologies with the pancreatic serine proteases and also the B-chains of thrombin and factor XA are pronounced, the arrangement still could be settled. By peptic digestion of partially reduced and S-carboxymethylated B-chain it was shown that there are two interchain disulphide bridges, which connect the A and B-chains of plasmin, involving Cys-5 and Cys-105 from the B-chain. The intrachain disulphides in the B-chain seem to be situated exactly as in chymotrypsin as partly judged from homologies.
