In the case study, a simple and rapid multiple substrate analysis method was developed to reveal the substrate specificity of any endopeptidase or exopeptidase using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry sequencing. The figure below illustrates the validation of a multiple substrate analysis technique using aspartyl peptidase cathepsin E. (a) Quantitative assessment of bonds cleaved by cathepsin E at increasing time intervals. (b,c) iceLogos generated from amino acids that are enriched or de-enriched in the P4 through P4' positions of cathepsin E cleavage sites after incubation for 5 min (b) and 20 h (c). Percent difference corresponds to the difference of amino acid frequency surrounding the cathepsin E cleavage sites relative to the frequency of amino acids surrounding all peptide bonds in the library (n = 1,612). In the iceLogo, M corresponds to norleucine. (d) Bar chart representing tetrapeptide sequences containing phenylalanine in the third position (**F↓*) and the time that cleavage is first observed.
