* Caspase substrates can often be cleaved by multiple enzymes. The caspase most often associated with the given peptide sequence is listed first. † R110 = rhodamine 110; AMC = 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. The absorption and emission maxima for the cleaved fluorophores at pH 7 are: 496/520 nm for R110 and 342/441 nm for AMC. ‡ EnzChek Caspase-3 Assay Kit. § Bulk packaging. ** RediPlate 96 EnzChek Caspase-3 Assay Kit.
