| Description: | MMP-13: 90 μL (18 ng) of human MMP-13 (Calbiochem # CC068) or 90 μL (130 ng) of human MMP-13 (Calbiochem #444287) was mixed with 10 μL of 10 mM APMA, and activated by reacting at 37° C. for 1 hour. 10 μL of the resultant enzyme solution was diluted to 90 μL with an assay buffer A. The mixture was added to 90 μL of a 20 μM fluorescent substrate (Dnp-Pro-Cha-Gly-Cys(Me)-His-Ala-Lys(Nma)-NH2) (SEQ ID NO: 2) prepared with an assay buffer B, and reacted at 37° C. for 4 hours. Enzyme activity was then determined by measuring with a fluorescence intensity meter (Labsystems, Fluoroskan Ascent) at an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and a measurement wavelength of 460 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 |
