We present a new method to calibrate a quadrant photodiode used as position detector to monitor latex beads trapped in optical tweezers. The method combines the dragging StokeÕs force with the thermal noise analysis (power spectral density (PSD)) of the Brownian motion of the trapped bead. Position
## Abstract Proteolytic cleavage of extracellular matrix (ECM) and disruption of tissue architecture are fundamental features of tumor cell invasion. The proteolytic activity is focused in close proximity to the tumor cells. Here, we describe the possibility to quantify local proteolytic activity i
