Disease relevance of AIDS-129219

• Intracellular cleavage of substrates such as Z-Arg-Arg-4-trifluoromethylcoumarinyl-7-amide to green fluorescent 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC) in viable neutrophils and monocytes was only detected following phagocytosis of Escherichia coli [1].

High impact information on AIDS-129219

• The Michaelis-Menten constant for GP testicular acrosin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-arginyl amide of 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin at pH 8.0 was calculated from Lineweaver-Burk plots to give a value of Km = 2.0 x 10(-5) M with Vmax = 500 mumoles/min/mg protein [2].
• Amino acid or peptide derivatives of naphthylamine AS can be recommended for light microscopical localization and cytofluorometric quantification, and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin and 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin amino acids and peptides for the development of enzyme bands after isoelectric focusing [3].
• The histochemical localization of u-PA activity is done by the methods of Lojda using unfixed cryostat sections on semipermeable membranes and a gel incubation medium containing sensitive substrates with the 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC) (Enzyme Systems Products, Sierra Lane, Dublin, CA, USA) leaving groups [4].

Biological context of AIDS-129219

• Enzymatic activity was detected by following the hydrolysis of N-benzyloxycarbonylarginyl amide of 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin at 37 degrees C, pH 8.0, before and after activation [5].
