1. A method of detecting cleavage of one or more entire specific binding substances from a surface of a colorimetric resonant reflectance optical biosensor, wherein one or more specific binding substances are immobilized on the surface of the biosensor at distinct locations, comprising:
- a. detecting a colorimetric resonant reflectance optical biosensor peak wavelength value (PWV) of the distinct locations;
b. applying one or more cleaving molecules to the distinct locations;
c. detecting a colorimetric resonant reflectance optical PWV of the distinct locations; and
d. comparing the PWVs from step (a) with the PWVs from step (c);
wherein the cleavage of one or more entire specific binding substances is detected.
