Table 1.

Kinetic parameters for the cathepsin B (CTSB)-catalyzed hydrolysis of Z-Arg-Arg-AMC and the cathepsin L (CTSL)-catalyzed hydrolysis of Z-Phe-Arg-AMC. All experiments were performed with 10 ng CTSB or CTSL in 100 mM sodium acetate buffer with 5 mM calcium chloride at pH 5.5 supplemented with 10 mM DTT

KM (mM) kcat (s−1) kcat/KM (mM−1 s−1)
