Abstract
Biocatalysts are now widely accepted as useful alternative tools to classic organic synthetic techniques for the regio- and enantioselective synthesis under mild reaction conditions in many fields of chemistry. The development of techniques for the rational or evolutionary design of novel or modified enzymes has increased the need for fast and reliable methods for the identification of the most powerful catalysts. We present a short overview on screening techniques in this area. Beside classical methods such as spectrophotometry and fluorimetry, a number of new approaches like methods based on the measurement of pH changes or IR-thermography have been recently developed. Additionally the use of electrospray and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry has gained increasing influence in this field of biotechnology.
