Notes
VDVAD-AFC emits blue light (λmax = 400nm) ; upon cleavage of the substrate by caspase-2 or related caspases, free AFC emits a yellow-green fluorescence (λmax = 505nm), which can be quantified using a fluorometer or a fluorecence microtiter plate reader. Comparison of the fluorescence of AFC from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in caspase-2 activity.
