Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate commonly utilized in chemical synthesis for studying enzyme activity. This peptide substrate consists of five amino acids - L-leucine, L-valine, L-tyrosine, and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) attached to an N-succinyl moiety at the N-terminus. The succinyl group enhances water solubility and stability of the substrate. In chemical synthesis, Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC is often employed as a substrate to determine the activity of enzymes such as proteases and peptidases. When these enzymes cleave the peptide bond between the tyrosine and AMC, the fluorophore AMC is liberated, resulting in a measurable fluorescence signal. This fluorescence signal can be monitored over time to quantify enzyme activity, assess enzyme kinetics, screen for enzyme inhibitors, and study enzyme mechanisms.Overall, Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC serves as a versatile tool in chemical synthesis for investigating enzyme functions and developing new pharmaceuticals targeting these enzymes.
