Ac devd amc substrate

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Ac-DEVD-AMC substrate is a fluorogenic peptide substrate used to detect and measure caspase-3 activity in biological samples. It consists of the amino acid sequence Ac-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-AMC, where AMC is the fluorogenic reporter molecule. Upon cleavage by caspase-3, the AMC moiety is released, resulting in an increase in fluorescent signal that can be quantified.

The DEVDase analysis for apoptosis was used. Briefly, 24 hours after irradiation, cells were lysed with a 0.5% NP40 lysis buffer, and 50 μL of lysate was incubated with 10 mmol/L Ac-DEVD-AMC substrate (Sigma) at 37°C for 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours. Substrate fluorescence was detected using a SpectraMax Gemini (Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA) at 380-nm excitation, 460 nm emission, and normalized to protein concentration.

Caspase 3 Activity Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caspase 3 activity was analyzed as described previously [25 (link)]. Isolated cells were washed twice with PBS (5 min, 250 g, 4°C) and lysed (50 mM HEPES; 5 mM CHAPS; 5 mM DTT) on ice for 20 min and centrifuged (15 min, 15 000 g, 4°C). Lavage fluid was diluted 1 : 1 with 2x concentrated lysing buffer. The proteins present in supernatants were quantified using Coomassie® Protein Assay (Bio-Rad, USA) and diluted to an equal concentration. 5 μg of protein samples was incubated in an assay buffer in parallels (20 mM HEPES; 2.5 mM CHAPS, 5 mM DTT, 2 mM EDTA) containing 50 μM of caspase 3 (Ac-DEVD-AMC) substrate (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 37°C for 4 h. The level of fluorescence was determined using microplate reader (Infinite 200, Tecan, Switzerland; 360 nm excitation, 460 nm emission).

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.
