Could someone explain what this is saying? I would like a better understanding. FIGURE D CPP32 (Caspase-3) protease activity. Aliquots of cell lysates (50μL) were incubated with an equal volume (50 μL) of the reactionbuffer and 5 μL of 7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin (AFCDEVD) for 1 hour at 37˚C (Clontech). The shift in fluorescenceemission of AFC-DEVD, on its proteolysis to free AFC by theprotease, was detected in a fluorometer, using a 400 nm excitationfilter and 505 nm emission filter.
