Further, survey on methods including fluorimetric methods, zymographies, Western-blotting, immunocapture assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochennistry, phage display, multiple-enzyme/multiple-reagent system, activity profiling, chronopotentiometric stripping analysis and imaging methods for detection and determination of MMPs follows (Fig. 3, Ref. 100).
