Main description This dataset depicts the catalysis of the fluorogenic substrate Ac-DEVD-AMC to the fluorescent substrate AMC by recombinant procaspase-3 obtained in yeast cell extracts, for fixed concentration of enzyme and variation of concentration of initial substrate. It was originally documented in Biophysical Chemistry 252 (2019) 106193 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpc.2019.106193), and then used as a study case for the webserver interferENZY (a web-based tool for enzymatic assay validation and standardized kinetic analysis; visit https://interferenzy.i3s.up.pt for more information). To this end, it was converted to the format here presented: tab-separated *.txt input required for interferENZY analysis. Dataset organization Line 1: Tab-separated initial concentrations of substrate Ac-DEVD-AMC in micromolar (µM) concentration Line 2: Concentration of protein in yeast extract (0.123 mg/mL) Line 3: Units of time Line 4: Units of concentration for substrate values and measurements Line 5: Dataset name Line 6 and downwards: Tab-separated column-pairs of the progress curves (time,Product) corresponding to the indicated values of initial concentrations of substrate in line 1 Contact information: Maria Filipa Pinto (mfpinto@i3s.up.pt) Pedro M.
