In Vivo Imaging of Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 and Matrix Metalloproteinase 13 Activities in the Mouse Model of Collagen‐Induced Arthritis
27 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop enzyme-activatable Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) substrate probes to detect matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP-12) and MMP-13 activities in vivo in mouse models of inflammatory arthritis. METHODS: Peptidic FRET probes activated by MMP-12 and MMP-13 were reverse designed from inhibitors selected from a phosphinic peptide inhibitor library. Selectivity of the probes was demonstrated...
