Suc-AAPF-pNA (Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA) is a chromogenic p-nitroanilide (pNA) substrate with the Km of 1.7 mM. Cleavage of Suc-AAPF-pNA releases 4-nitroaniline, which is yellow in colour and can be measured spectrophotometrically. Suc-AAPF-pNA can be used for the measurement of free and membrane-bound cathepsin G in human neutrophils.
The elastase activity is measured as activity against the substrate Suc-AAPF-Pna. Aliquots (10 μL) of SmCTF samples are incubated at 30 °C with 200 μM Suc-AAPF-pNA and the activity of cercarial elastase measured as abosorbance at 400 nm[2]. Proteolytic activity is measured by hydrolysis of the substrate suc-AAPF-pNA. Serial dilutions of the proteases are made in 100 mM Tris buffer, pH 8.6, containing 10 mM CaCl2. Enzyme activity is measured at 25°C in 100 mM Tris/HCl, pH 8.6 containing 1.6 mM suc-AAPF-pNA, 0.0005% Tween-80 and 1% DMSO by monitoring the absorbance change at 410 nm using a spectrophotometer. Each dilution of enzyme is tested in triplicate[3].
