moulting fluid protease 1

a cuticle-degrading proteinase from the moulting fluid of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta; MW 41 kDa; preferred substrate is Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA; may act as the first step in the degradation of the cuticle during the moulting process; substrate specificity and inhibition typical of serine proteases, but also inhibited by thiol protease inhibitors

09/24/2013 - "Using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on atomically smooth gold substrates and the surface forces apparatus, we explored the force-distance profiles and adhesion energies of three different Mfps, Mfp-1, Mfp-3, and Mfp-5, on (i) hydrophobic methyl (CH3)- and (ii) hydrophilic alcohol (OH)-terminated SAM surfaces between pH 3 and pH 7.5.
