BIOSENSORS, KITS AND ASSAYS FOR MEASURING METALLOPROTEINASE AND SERINE PROTEASE ACTIVITIES

摘要

This application relates to assays for measuring metal and/or serine protease activities, such as collagenase and trypsin, in biological samples and novel biosensors for use in such assays. In particular, the present invention discloses a specific type of biosensor especially suitable for determining collagenase and/or trypsin activity and which may be visually detected via an attached colorimetric label.
