We have a new paper in the journal JoVE. This is a very special type of article because includes a video explaning one of our research procedures: Quantifying the Modulation of Elastase Enzyme Activity Through Colorimetric Analysis, this protocol describes the development of a colorimetric assay method for determining the ability of compounds to inhibit or activate elastase activity.
Elastase, a serine protease, plays an essential role in elastin degradation. Elastin is an extracellular protein that helps maintain tissue elasticity in the lungs, skin, and blood vessels. The colorimetric elastase assay remains a valuable tool for studying how compounds impact elastase activity. Due to its ease of use and effectiveness, this assay is a cornerstone of research in this field.
Congrats to the authors Francisco Javier Álvarez Martínez, María Herranz, Enrique Barrajón-Catalán and Vicente Micol Molina
