Figure 1 Centrifuge force microscopy coupled with careful surface chemistry to achieve single-molecule collagen-tethering (A) opens the road for proteolytic assays under constant force. In the case of collagen-III (B), this assay demonstrates force-induced proteolytic activity of trypsin (2). To see this figure in color, go online.
