Dear Flowers:

Has anybody done Calpain analysis by flow? Are there reagents for such a
test that I should consider?  I have found that Molecular Probes does a
Aminochloromethylcoumarin (CMAC)
peptidase substrate called t-BOC-Leu-Met-CMAC (cat no. A-6520), that
supposedly calpain is able to cleave to produce a fluorescent
product. Are there any recommendations or abvice on the efficacy of this
product, particularly regarding specificity with repsect to calpain.
