PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of treating a material containing animal cardiac muscle protein with enzymes whose reaction control is improved, and the like.SOLUTION: When the material containing the animal cardiac muscle protein is decomposed by the enzymes, the material containing the animal cardiac muscle protein is homogenized and then treated by acting the enzymes stepwise on it in the same reaction tank based on the properties of respective enzymes, in the method of treating the material containing animal cardiac muscle protein with the enzymes. In the amino acid sequences of polypeptides containing the animal cardiac muscle obtained by the treatment, peptide bonds in which the carboxyl groups of tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophane participate are enzymatically decomposed by a chymotrypsin enzyme.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】反応制御を改善した動物心筋蛋白含有物の酵素処理方法などを提供する。【解決手段】動物心筋含有蛋白を酵素分解するに当たり、動物心筋蛋白含有物の酵素処理方法として、ホモジナイズ後、同一反応槽内で酵素の持つ特性に基づいて、段階的に酵素を作用させ処理する。このように処理した動物心筋含有ポリペプチド類のアミノ酸配列において、キモトリプシン酵素によって、チロシン、フェニルアラニン、及びトリプトファンのカルボキシル基の関与するペプチド結合を酵素分解する。【選択図】 図1
