Investigation of the catalytic site of actinidin by using benzofuroxan as a reactivity probe with selectivity for the thiolate-imidazolium ion-pair systems of cysteine proteinases. Evidence that the reaction of the ion-pair of actinidin (pKI 3.0, pKII 9.6) is modulated by the state of ionization of a group associated with a molecular pKa of 5.5.
