An oligopeptide: Lys-Gly-Pro-Arg-Ser-Leu-Ser-Gly-Lys-NH, cleaved specifically by a matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) at the Ser-Leu bond, was labeled on the ε-NH groups of lysine with donor (5, 6 TAMRA) and acceptor (HiLyte647) dye. The donor control was a peptide labeled with 5, 6 TAMRA only on the C-terminal lysine, and the acceptor control was free HiLyte647. Following three products were studied by dissolving in 10% (w/w) poly(vinyl alcohol) and dried on glass slides forming 200 micron films. Absorption spectra of the films show full additivity of donor and acceptor absorptions. A strong Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) with an efficiency of about 85% was observed in the fluorescence emission and excitation spectra. The lifetime of the donor was shorter and heterogeneous compared with the donor control.
Lys-Gly-Pro-Arg-Ser-Leu-Ser-Gly-Lys-NH,在 Ser-Leu 键处被基质金属蛋白酶 9 (MMP-9) 特异性切割,其赖氨酸的 ε-NH 基团上标记了供体(5,6 TAMRA)和受体(HiLyte647)染料。供体对照肽仅在 C 末端赖氨酸上标记有 5,6 TAMRA,受体对照物为游离的 HiLyte647。将以下三种产物溶解在 10%(w/w)聚乙烯醇中并在玻璃载玻片上干燥形成 200 微米薄膜。薄膜的吸收光谱显示供体和受体吸收的完全加和性。在荧光发射和激发光谱中观察到强的荧光共振能量转移(FRET),效率约为 85%。与供体对照物相比,供体的寿命更短且不均匀。
