A simple inexpensive sensitive protease assay was developed using soluble fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled casein. Casein was reacted with FITC to form the fluorescein thiocarbamoyl derivative. This substrate is cleaved by trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, subtilisin and thermolysin in a linear time-dependent manner. These enzymes can be measured in the ng and sub-ng range using this assay. The assay is reproducible, has a low blank and uses casein, which resembles natural substrates of most proteases.
