| Other Notes: | Activity Assay Protocol Materials: • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Brij-35, pH 7.5 (TCNB) • Recombinant Human MMP-1 (rhMMP-1) (Cat. No. M9195) • p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA), (Cat. No. A9563), 100 mM stock in DMSO • Substrate: MCA-Lys-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-D • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate • Fluorescent Plate Reader or equivalent Assay: 1. Dilute rhMMP-1 to 50 μg/mL in Assay Buffer. 2. Activate 50 μg/mL rhMMP-1 by adding APMA to a final concentration of 1 mM. 3. Incubate at 37 °C for 2 hours. 4. Dilute activated rhMMP-1 to 1 ng/μL in Assay Buffer. 5. Dilute Substrate to 20 μM in Assay Buffer. 6. Load into a black well plate 50 μL of 1 ng/μL rhMMP-1 and start the reaction by adding 50 μL of 20 μM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 μL Assay Buffer, 50 μL Substrate, and no rhMMP-1. 7. Read at excitiation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm, respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes. 8. Calculate specific activity: Specific Activity (pmol/min/μg) =Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU) / amount of enzyme (μg) *Adjusted for Substrate Blank **Derived using calibration standard MCA-Pro-Leu-OH. Final Assay Conditions: Per Well: rhMMP-1: 0.050 μg Substrate: 10 μM |
