87779-49-5

Bz-VGR-AMC (87779-49-5) may be used for measuring the trypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome, in combination with Suc-LLVY-AMC (Cat.# 10-2971, for assaying its chymotrypsin-like activity) and Z-LLE-AMC, (for determining its PGPH activity). Fluorogenic substrate. Ex.: 380nm Em.: 460nm.

Bz-Val-Gly-Arg-AMC is a bioactive compound used in assaying the degree of inhibition conferred by PS-341, a potent peptidylboronic acid with anticancer properties.
