Abstract excerpt
We describe an assay system for the identification of site-specific proteases. The assay is based on a protein substrate that is immobilized on ceramic beads. After incubation with cell homogenates, the beads are washed and digested with endoproteinase Lys-C to liberate a defined set of peptides. The peptide fragments are identified by mass spectrometry. The assay was used to screen for beta-secretase, the...
