The sensing mechanism. The enzyme (PC6) can release a quenched 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) molecule from the peptide substrate. When released, the AMC is no longer quenched and can emit fluorescence upon ultra-violet (UV) excitation. The rate of increase in fluorescence indicates enzyme activity, and, if calibrated, enzyme concentration.
