Z gly pro arg amc

Manufactured by Bachem
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

Z-Gly-Pro-Arg-AMC is a laboratory reagent composed of the peptide sequence Z-Gly-Pro-Arg linked to the fluorogenic reporter molecule 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). This compound is commonly used as a substrate for the detection and measurement of proteolytic enzyme activity, particularly trypsin-like serine proteases.

Recombinant Serpins Inhibit MASPs

To investigate whether the F. hepatica recombinant serpins inhibit native serum-derived MASPs, samples of NHS diluted 1:10 in barbital buffer were incubated with either rFhSrp1 (1 μM), rFhSrp2 (1 μM), rFhSrps (1 μM), FUT-175 (100 μM) or PBS at RT for 25 min and then added to S. cerevisiae mannan-coated plates (20 μg/mL). The plates were incubated at 37°C for 5 min before the addition of the fluorogenic substrate, Z-Gly-Pro-Arg-AMC (20 μM; Bachem, UK). The proteolytic activity of serum derived MASPs was measured continuously over 1 hr at 37°C in a PolarStar Omega Spectrophotometer as relative fluorescent units (RFU). All assays were carried out in triplicate and the average activity, presented as a percentage, was calculated relative to the activity within the NHS-PBS sample, set as 100% activity. Serum MASPs activity was also determined in the NHS in which F. hepatica NEJ were cultured and compared to the NHS-control incubated without NEJ.

Granzyme B and A Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The enzyme activities were determined using acetyl-Ile-Glu-Pro-Asp-AMC (50 µM) and Z-Gly-Pro-Arg-AMC (200 µM; both from Bachem) for granzyme B and A, respectively. The following assay buffers were used: 50 mM Tris-HCl and 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 (for granzyme B) and 20 mM Tris and 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.1 (for granzyme A). Whole-cell lysates were first activated in assay buffer for 30 min at 37 °C. The substrate was then added, and the formation of fluorescent products was measured continuously on a microplate reader Infinite M1000 (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland).

Fluorometric Enzyme Activity Assay

Enzyme activities were determined using the following substrates: 70 µM H-Gly-Phe-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) (Bachem) for cathepsin C, 20 µM H-Arg-AMC (Bachem) for cathepsin H, 50 µM Z-Phe-Arg-AMC for cathepsin L (Bachem), 50 µM acetyl-Ile-Glu-Pro-Asp-AMC for granzyme B (Bachem), and 200 µM Z-Gly-Pro-Arg-AMC for granzyme A (Bachem). The following assay buffers were used: 25 mM MES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM cysteine, pH 6 (for cathepsin C); 100 mM MES, 2 mM EDTA, 5 mM cysteine, pH 6.5 (for cathepsins H and L); 50 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 (for granzyme B); and 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.1 (for granzyme A). Whole-cell lysates were first activated in assay buffer for 15 min at RT for cathepsins or for 30 min at 37 °C for granzymes. The substrate was then added, and formation of fluorescent products was measured continuously on a microplate reader Infinite M1000 (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). To determine cathepsin L activity, 5 µM of irreversible inhibitor of cathepsin B, CA-074 (Bachem), was added before the addition of substrate.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
