Monitoring metalloproteinase activity using synthetic fluorogenic substrates.

Fluorogenic synthetic substrates are commonly used to monitor the activity of peptidases in vitro. This unit presents a representative protocol that employs (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-(3-[2,4-dinitrophenyl]-L-2,3-diaminopropionyl)-Ala-Arg-NH2 (Mca-Pro-Leu-Gly~Leu-Dpa-Ala-Arg-NH2)...
