Proteases have garnered interest as candidate biomarkers and therapeutic targets for many human diseases. A key challenge is the identification and characterization of disease‐relevant proteases in the complex milieu of biological fluids such as serum, plasma, and bronchoalveolar lavage, in which a multitude of hydrolases act in concert. This unit describes a protocol to map the global proteolytic substrate specificities of complex biological samples using a concise combinatorial library of internally quenched fluorogenic peptide probes (IQFPs). This substrate profiling approach provides a global and quantitative comparison of protease specificities between different biological samples. Such a comparative analysis can lead to the identification of disease‐specific ‘fingerprints' of proteolytic activities with potential utility in diagnosis and therapy.Curr. Protoc.
