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 is becoming better and better so keep on track for updates !

Do the substrates and enzymes cross-react ?
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.
