摘要
Assay of proteolytic enzymes by the fluorescence polarization method is described in which fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated proteins are used as substrates. Hydrolysis of the natural substrates is accompanied by a decrease in the fluorescence polarization values reflecting time and also by an enzyme concentration-dependent decrease in the overall molecular weight of the substrates. Trypsin activity as low as 0.05 μg/ml at 20°C is detected at a fluorochrome concentration of 10 to 20 pmol/ml. In this method, no separation procedure or further reaction for quantitation is necessary. Thus, using a computerized instrument, this method is extremely sensitive, simple, and rapid. © 1979.
