Boc-Asp(OBzl)-Pro-Arg-AMC acetate is a fluorogenic substrate for the determination of protease activity. Boc-Asp(OBzl)-Pro-Arg-AMC acetate undergoes hydrolysis and releases the fluorescent product 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). AMC is fluorescent under UV light and can emit a fluorescent signal [1].
