Abstract
An assay for the quantification of collagen-like polymer (CLP) in Escherichia coli cells utilizing the specific reaction between collagenase and CLP is presented. It involves thermal treatment to precipitate non-CLP proteins, digestion of CLP by collagenase and detection of the absorbance of the liberated amino acids and peptides from CLP by a ninhydrin-based method. CLP concentration is determined from the absorbance measurement.Entities:
