Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  MMP-17: 90 μL (5.8 ng) of human MMP-17 (Calbiochem #475940) prepared with an assay buffer A was added to 90 μL of a 20 μM fluorescent substrate (MOCAc-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-A2pr(Dnp)-Ala-Arg-NH2, Peptide Institute Inc., #3163-v) (SEQ ID NO: 3) prepared with an assay buffer B, and reacted at room temperature for 5 hours. Enzyme activity was then determined by measuring with a fluorescence intensity meter (Labsystems, Fluoroskan Ascent) at an excitation wavelength of 320 nm and a measurement wavelength of 405 nm.From the enzyme activity in the presence or the absence of the test substance, the inhibition rate was determined, and the 50% inhibitiory concentration (IC50) of the test substance was calculated.
