Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  MMP-14: 90 μL (1.9 ng) of human MMP-14 (Calbiochem #475935) prepared with an assay buffer A 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 5 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.
