Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzyme Assay
Description:  The enzyme is commercially available human cathepsin L (for example Calbiochem). The substrate is H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-AMC available from Bahcem. The assay buffer is 100 mM sodium acetate 1 mM EDTA, pH5.5) The DMSO stock (10 mM in 100% DMSO) is diluted to 10% in assay buffer. Enzyme is prepared at 5 nM concentration in assay buffer plus 1 mM dithiothreitol just before use. 2 ul of 10 mM inhibitor made up in 100% DMSO is dispensed into row A. 10 μl of 50 μM substrate (=1/200 dilution of 10 mM stock in DMSO, diluted in assay buffer).
