the enzyme cleaves Leu-/-Trp, it prefers short peptides with an aromatic residue in the P1' position, with Glu-/-Trp being the best substrate. Dipeptides with Trp, Phe or Tr in the P1' position are rapidly hydrolyzed. The requirement in the P1 position is no stringent. Te enzyme does not hydrolyze N-blocked peptides
