Dixon plots were used to obtain Ki values. Assays were carried out at 3 substrate concentrations and at 6 different inhibitor concentrations without preincubation of the enzyme with inhibitors, and the number of determinations is shown in parentheses. Substrate concentrations were 0.5 to 4.0 mM for the ChT-L activity using Z-GGF-pAB.

Standard single-letter abbreviations are used for amino acid residues where applicable.

ChT-L indicates chymotrypsin-like activity; BrAAP, branched-chain amino acid preferring; hF, homophenylalanine; IC50, concentration inducing 50% target inhibition; IPSI, immunoproteasome-specific inhibitor; Ki, inhibitory constant; nL, norleucinal; pAB, para-amino-benzoate; Z, carbobenzoxy; and NI, not inhibited

*

IC50 instead of Ki.
