Abstract
Several extended peptide substrates for the human liver enzymes cathepsin B and cathepsin D have been selected as cleavable linkers for lysosomal proteolysis of bioconjugates. A one-bead-one-peptide combinatorial library of 94 fluorogenic substrates was employed. We designed this library to explore a set of substrates containing nonionizable/nonoxidizable groups to meet the requirements of prelabeling [Li et al. (1994) Bioconjugate Chem. 5, 101-104] as well as to yield stable conjugates whose preparation is straightforward.
