| | Worthington Elastase |
 | | Elastase is assayed using a method adapted from that of Feinstein et al., BBRC, 50, 1020, 1973 and using the more soluble substrate of Bieth et al., Biochem. | | | While elastase will hydrolyze a wide variety of protein substrates, it is unique among proteases in its ability to hydrolyze native elastin, a substrate not attacked by trypsin, chymotrypsin or pepsin. | | | It is helpful to make primary solutions in KCl or alkaline buffers before diluting into the reaction mixtures or media, compensating for ionic strength or pH changes. |

| | Elastase |
| | This is truly an example of technology-driven science, when you consider that elastase activity can now be measured under conditions you did not think possible. | | | This elastase assay works under a variety of conditions. | | | The measured Km of this substrate with porcine pancreatic elastase is in the 800 nM range, in contrast to the Km values of 6.2 and 0.8 mM for other chromogenic substrates based on pNA and AMC chromophores, respectively [see M.J. Castillo, K. |

| | Emphysema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This hypothesis, a result of the observation that NE is the primary substrate for A1AT, and A1AT is the primary inhibitor of NE, together have been known as the "protease-antiprotease" theory, implicating neutrophils as an important mediator of the disease. | | | Most A1AD patients do not develop clinically significant emphysema, but smoking and severely decreased A1AT levels (10-15%) can cause emphysema at a young age. | | | Studies for the better part of the past century have focused primarily upon the putative role of leukocyte elastase (also neutrophil elastase), a serine protease found in neutrophils, as a primary contributor to the connective tissue damage seen in the disease. |
