Orescently labeled AMC-hemoglobin was digested with gut extract at various pH values. The relative rate of degradation of the substrate was determined using the measurement of fluorescence in a continuous hemoglobinolytic assay. The error bars indicate standard deviations of the mean of triplicates.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Profiling of proteolytic enzymes in the gut of the tick reveals an evolutionarily conserved network of aspartic and cysteine peptidases"</p><p>http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/1/1/7</p><p>Parasites & Vectors 2008;1():7-7.</p><p>Published online 18 Mar 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2289814.</p><p></p
