We report a liquid crystal (LC)sensor system for trypsin detection.
Trypsin hydrolyzed the surface-immobilized BSA and caused the reorientation of LC.
The limit of detection of this system for trypsin was 10 ng/mL with specificity.
The hydrolysis on surfaces was visualized by the scanning photoelectron microscopy.
This system provides a simple method for fast-screening trypsin activity.
