Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Chimeric Protein VEGI-CTT in Escherichia coli

Figure 7

Inhibition of caseinolytic activity by the chimeric protein VEGI-CTT. MMP-2 and MMP-9 enzymes were incubated with 2 mg/mL -casein in the absence or presence of VEGI-CTT. Proteins were separated on a 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel, and detected with Serve blue R. For details, see Section 2. Inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mediated -casein degradation by VEGI-CTT at different concentrations with apparent IC50 of 7.5 and 30 , respectively.
