- Generate collagenase-sensitive probes whose cleavage site depends on native triple-helical conformation of collagen
Equip these collagenase-sensitive probes with FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer)- and FLIM (fluorescence life time microscopy)-capable molecular moieties, which enable fluorescence-based real-time monitoring of their cleavage
Determine characteristic features of the probes, such as thermal stability of the triple-helical...
