  • Title: Dual emissive bispyrene peptide probes for highly sensitive measurements of trypsin activity and evaluation of trypsin inhibitors.
    Author: Sato D, Kondo T, Kato T.
    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem; 2018 Jul 23; 26(12):3468-3473. PubMed ID: 29807698.
    Abstract:
    Peptide substrates were double labeled with pyrenes to prepare fluorescent probes for highly sensitive detection of protease activity and evaluation of protease inhibitors using pyrene monomer/excimer signals. Two proximate pyrene moieties formed excited state dimers in the probes, and these pyrene excimer formations were dissociated by tryptic digestion. The specificity constant of the optimum bispyrene peptide probe was 2.7 times higher than that of the conventional peptide-4-methylcoumarin amide. Moreover, our probe had high sensitivity with an estimated detection limit for trypsin of 4.11 pM. The half maximal inhibitory concentration and dissociation constant of the Bowman-Birk inhibitor were successfully estimated.
