Collagenase and protease activity in Bacteroides melaninogenicus

A rapid sensitive collagenase assay has been developed using ¹⁴C-acetylated collagen as the substrate. Acid-soluble calfskin collagen was labelled with acetic-1-¹⁴C-anhydride at pH 8. The radioactively labelled collagen remained susceptible to Clostridium histolyticum collagenase but resistant to no...
