abstract：:An ultraviolet absorption difference spectrum characteristic of the ionization change of a tyrosyl residue was observed on the binding of subtilisin BPN' with Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI) at alkaline pH. This difference spectrum was considered to be induced by a pKa shift (from 9.7 to > or = 11.5) of a tyro...
