Collagenase from normal human skin fibroblasts was found to catalyze the hydrolysis of esters and thio esters. This observation led to the development of a rapid, sensitive, continuous spectrophotometric assay for vertebrate collagenase using the thio peptolide Ac-ProLeuGly-S-LeuLeuGly-OCzHs as subs

A continuously recording spectrophotometric assay has been developed for Clostridium histolyticum collagenase based on the hydrolysis of 2-furanacryloyl-L-leucylglycyl-L-prolyl-L-alanine (FALGPA). The hydrolysis of this peptide by collagenase obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics with V = 1.8 X IO5 pkatal
A rapid, sensitive collagenase assay has been developed using 14C-acetylated collagen as a substrate. Acid-soluble calfskin collagen was labeled with [1-14C]acetic anhydride at pH 8. The acetylated collagen had a specific activity of 6.25 ร l0 ~ dpm/mg protein. Collagen was not denatured as evidence
