Salt-activation of thermolysin was examined using a positively charged fluorescent substrate, (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl-L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-L-Leu-[N(3)-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diaminopropionyl]-L-Ala-L-Arg-NH(2) [MOCAc-PLGL(Dpa)AR]. Thermolysin activity increased in a biphasic exponential fashion and was 40 times higher in the presence of 4 M NaCl than in its absence. The degree of activation at X M NaCl was expressed as 4.7(x) when [NaCl](o) < 0.5 M and 2.3(x) when [NaCl](o) > 0.5 M respectively.
