Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzymatic Activity Assay
Description:  Human serine protease enzymes plasmin, thrombin, trypsin, Factor Xa and Factor XIIa were assayed for enzymatic activity using an appropriate fluorogenic substrate. Protease activity was measured by monitoring the accumulation of liberated fluorescence from the substrate over 5 minutes. The linear rate of fluorescence increase per minute was expressed as percentage (%) activity. The Km for the cleavage of each substrate was determined by standard transformation of the Michaelis-Menten equation. The compound inhibitor assays were performed at substrate Km concentration and activities were calculated as the concentration of inhibitor giving 50% inhibition (IC50) of the uninhibited enzyme activity (100%).
