FA-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala-OH TFA
FA-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala-OH TFA is a furylacryloyl-terminal tetrapeptide that serves as a substrate for bacterial collagenase and spirochete metalloendopeptidase. FA-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala-OH TFA is specifically hydrolyzed by spirochete collagenase only at the Leu-Gly bond. FA-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala-OH TFA can be used to determine the equilibrium constant of peptide bond hydrolysis, and also to detect collagenase-mediated cleavage reactions via turbidimetry based on absorbance reduction.

Biological Activity
FA-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala-OH (1 mM Ca2+; no added Ca2+) TFA is hydrolyzed at the Leu-Gly bond by the partially purified metalloendopeptidase from unspeciated treponeme strain US with near-identical activity in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+ or without added Ca2+[1].
FA-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala-OH (5 mM; 15 min) TFA was not cleaved by crude nematocyst extract from Velella velella, which did not exhibit detectable collagenase activity against the substrate under the tested conditions[2].
