First Claim:
Show all 8 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. An enzyme product obtainable from bromelain capable of debridement of devitalized tissue from a mammalian host which comprises a water soluble, heat labile protein free of caseinolytic activity having a peak isoelectric point of about 6, comprising at least two subunits, each subunit having a molecular weight of from about 14,300 to 15,000 daltons, with a characteristic absorption peak in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum at 280 nm.; the said product being active in the absence of sulfhydryl activation and in the presence of sulfhydryl deactivating quantities of phenylmercuric acetate, and the physiological acceptable alkali metal and acid addition salts thereof.
