Enzyme-substrate reactions

We have cloned fluorescent receiver systems as backup for our circuit in case the hydrolase reaction do not work properly.
The enzyme substrate reactions take less than 5 minutes and are visible by eye.

Our minesweeper become better and better so keep on track for updates !

Hydrolase Complementary substrate / IUPAC name Visible color Time(s)for colorimetric response

An enzyme-substrate test matrix (Figure 6) was established to test each substrate against each enzyme. The results were as expected (Figure 6.2) and no cross reaction is visible. The NagZ-X - glucosaminide X-Glunac reveal some difficulties in the liquid culture as well as on the agar plate.
