Mca-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dpa-Ala-Arg-NH2 assay for characterization of refolded ZBD. Panel A: Under the optimized conditions, the refolded ZBD shows increasing enzymatic activity in dose-dependent manner. No significant activity loss was found in the high concentration situation. Panel B: approximately 6 ng/ml refolded ZBD shows the increasing activity during the time course study and no significant activity loss during overnight incubation. Panel C: Recombinant ZBD can be inhibited by 10 nM EDTA, 1 mM CoCl2 and synthetic inhibitors, 50 nM BB94 & SC44463 and CoCl2, but not b6 250 nM Phosphoramidon. (All experiments were repeated at two batch of purification and refolding preparation and data collected from a representative experiments)
