gelatin Zymogram for MMPs - (Dec/02/2006 )
Hi
I'm planning to do SDS-gelatin zymogram to study matrix metalloproteinase enzyme. If anyone did this before, how do u lyse the cells, I usually add protease inhibitor tablets to my lysis buffer which is NP-40, is that ok?. is there any specific lysis buffer to isolate MMPs
thanks

Can you add more information about your protocoll? cell line, etc.
In addiction, MMP are released by the cells in medium so cell lysis is not necessary.
