| 摘要 |
The invention discloses a method of determining protease activity, in real time, using fluorescence polarization technology. In particular, the invention provides vectors and a method for their use, which expresses uncharacterized proteins conjugated to a fluorescence tag, which binds specifically to a fluorescent ligand. Cleavage of the recombinant protein results in a fragment of the expressed peptide and results in a change in fluorescence polarization of the fluorophore. The rate of change in fluorescence polarization can be measured in real time and is equivalent to the rate of protease cleavage.
