Continuous monitoring of BoNT/A-LC-catalyzed cleavage of YsCsY. BoNT/A-LC was 2-fold serially diluted at concentrations from 2 nM to 2 pM in reaction buffer containing 10 μM of Zn2+ and incubated in a fluorescence microplate reader at 30°C for 30 min before addition of a solution of 3 μM of YsCsY. The data were recorded in filter mode with excitation at 400/30 nm and emission at 528/20 nm.
