    The peptide Leu-Val-Lys-Val-Pro-Leu-Val-Arg-Lys-Lys-Ser-Leu-Arg-Gln-Asn-Leu, a known pepsin inhibitor, is derived from the first 16 amino acids of porcine pepsinogen. It was prepared from the activation mixture and was modified by guanidination of its three lysine residues to form homoarginine residues. The modified peptide is a better pepsin inhibitor than the native peptide; for 50% inhibition of the milk clotting action of pepsin at pH 5.3, the molar ratio of peptide to pepsin required is 9 for the native inhibitor and only 2 for the guanidinated inhibitor. The dissociation constants (k1) of the inhibitor-pepsin complexes are 7 X 10(-8) and 1.4 X 10(-8) M for the native and guanidinated peptides, respectively. The guanidinated peptide is more resistant to digestion by pepsin at pH 3.5. The native and modified peptides partially protect pepsin from inactivation at pH 7. Stepwise removal of the amino-terminal Leu-Val-Har residues from the guanidinated inhibitor by Edman degradation decreases the pepsin-inhibiting activity only slightly at the first step, but markedly at the second and third steps. Thus, all of the amino-terminal sequence except the leucine residue is necessary for full activity.
