| Description: | In general, proteolytic activity was tested by monitoring the cleavage of the specific chromogenic substrate at 405 nm wavelength for 60 or 120 minutes in a Tecan Spark M10 or Tecan Genios Pro plate reader at 37° C. After optimization of assay conditions, every enzyme was tested in 100 μL final volume with 500 μM chromogenic substrate. Where applicable, inhibitor and enzyme were pre-incubated for 10 minutes in the buffer at 37° C. before substrate addition. Compounds were pre-solved in DMSO and used in the assays with a final DMSO concentration of 3% (v/v). n order to determine KM values, the assays were performed as described but with differing substrate concentrations (10 μM to 4 mM). Specific activity was calculated and plotted against substrate concentrations in GraphPad Prism 5 software. Michaelis-Menten (software built-in) analysis was used to calculate the KM values. In order to determine IC50 and Ki values, enzyme assays were performed with differing inhibitor concentrations (2.5 nM to 20/200 μM), specific activities were calculated, and plotted against log inhibitor concentrations in GraphPad Prism 5 software. One site Fit Ki and One site Fit log IC50 (software built-in) analysis were used to calculate IC50 and Ki values. |
