Collagenase is assayed by incubation with soluble, telopeptide-free collagen extracted from rat skin and labeled with [2-3H]acetic anhydride. Collagen is cleaved by collagenase and the resulting fragments are digested with trypsin and chymotrypsin. Undigested collagen is recovered by precipitation w

We describe two alternative assays for measuring collagenolytic activity using 3 H-acetylated collagen. Both assays have been developed for the 96-well plate format and measure the amount of radiolabeled collagen fragments released into the supernatant from an insoluble 3 H-acetylated collagen fibri
This report describes an assay for measuring the activity of collagenases using reconstituted fibrils of fluorescein-labeled soluble collagen as substrate. The labeling of commercially available material is easy and not expensive. The assay is very sensitive, reproducible, and is linear with collage
This report describes the use of the compound 2-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-3(2H)-furanone to label collagen as a substrate for the detection of mammalian collagenase in a fluorescent assay which is suitable for screening large numbers of samples. The compound 2-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-3(2H)-furanone presents
