Ac-Lys-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Phe(NO2)-Pro-Val-Val-NH2 (peptide I) and Thr-Phe-Gln-Ala-Phe(NO2)-Pro-Leu-Arg-Glu-Ala (peptide II) undergo hydrolysis between the p-nitrophenylalanyl and prolyl residues catalyzed by the proteases of HIV-1 and AMV, respectively. The specific hydrolyses of peptides I and II are accompanied by a decrease in their uv absorption at 269 nm (delta epsilon = 1000) and an increase at 316 nm (delta epsilon = 600). The use of microspectrophotometric cells allows continuous uv measurements on a volume (60 to 120 microliters) comparable to that required for the HPLC point assay currently used. At the highest substrate concentration possible under the assay conditions, good first-order kinetics were observed with both proteases, and the values of Vmax/Km were obtained.
