Fluorescence quenching studies of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs): evidence for structural rearrangement of the proMMP-2/TIMP-2 complex upon mercurial activation.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases which are secreted from cells as zymogens and can be activated by treatment with organomercurial reagents or limited proteolysis. The proenzyme forms of MMP-2 (gelatinase A) and MMP-9 (gelatinase B) are found in complex with tissue i...
