| | Cathepsin Enzyme Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | Enzyme activity is measured by observing the increase in fluorescence intensity caused by cleavage of a peptide substrate containing a fluorophore whose emission is quenched in the intact peptide. Assay buffer: 100 mM potassium phosphate pH 6.5, EDTA-Na 5 mM, Triton X-100 0.001%, DDT 5 mM. Enzymes (all at 1 nM): human and mouse Cathepsin S, Cat K, Cat B, Cat LSubstrate (20 uM): Z-Val-Val-Arg-AMC, except for Cat K which uses Z-Leu-Arg-AMC (both from Bachem). Z=Benzyloxycarbonyl. AMC=7-Amino-4-Methyl-Coumarin. Final volume: 100 uL. Excitation 360 nm, Emission 465 nm. Enzyme is added to the substance dilutions in 96-well microtitre plates and the reaction is started with substrate. Fluorescence emission is measured over 20 minutes, during which time a linear increase is observed in the absence of inhibitor. |
