Force-dependent collagen cleavage assay. Collagen trimers are attached to the glass surface via an antibody targeting a sequence close to the C-terminus, and to a streptavidin-coated magnetic bead via N-terminal biotinylation. Force is applied to the collagen by modulating the height of the permanent magnets above the flow cell (Supporting Information).
