Description
N-[3-(2-Furyl)acryloyl]-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala (FALGPA) is a substrate for the spectrophotometric assay of MMP (collagenase). The isoforms I and II of purified collagenase differ in their specificities and relative activities on native collagen and synthetic substrates. Collagenase II activity is measured by the enzyme's ability to cut a short synthetic peptide, N-[3-(2-Furyl)acryloyl)]-Leu-Gly- Pro-Ala (FALGPA)
