Popis: The detection of proteases and their complexes with inhibitor proteins is of great importance for diagnosis and medical-treatment applications. In this study, we report a fingerprint-based sensor using an array of single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) labeled with environment-responsive 3'-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) for the identification of proteases. Four TAMRA-modified ssDNAs with different sequences solubilized in two different buffer solutions were incorporated in an array that was capable of generating fluorescent fingerprints unique to the proteases through diverse cross-reactive interactions, allowing the discrimination of (i) 8 proteases and (ii) 12 different mixtures of trypsin and its inhibitor protein (α
