Abstract
Assays which comprise oligopeptides and which are useful for determining free PSA protease activity in vitro and in vivo are described. Such oligopeptides comprise amino acid sequences that are recognized and proteolytically cleaved by free prostrate specific antigen (PSA). Also described are assays useful in identifying inhibitors of free PSA.
