Description Mca-Lys-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dap(Dnp)-Ala-Arg-NH2 is the N-terminal elongation of the widely used MMP FRET substrate Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 with a Lys which yields a fluorogenic peptide with improved substrate properties. As compared to Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2, the specificity constant (kcat/Km) of the broad-spectrum MMP-substrate Mca-Lys-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dap(Dnp)-Ala-Arg-NH2 for collagenases (MMP-1, MMP-8, MMP-13) and MMP-14 is increased two- to ninefold and threefold, respectively, while those for gelatinases and matrilysin remain equally high.
