“…22 This versatility contributes to their biotechnological application in industrial settings, where molecular engineering techniques, coupled with green chemistry processes, allow the production of high value-added inputs. 23,24 As such, demand for these new biocatalysts requires rapid and sensitive methodologies to evaluate enzymatic activities, 2,5,16,25 conversion, enantioselectivity (E) 9,14,26 and enantiomeric excess (ee). 3 Thus, spectrophotometric methods that use chromogenic 27 or fluorogenic 7,16,25 substrates as sensors are ideal for monitoring enzymatic activities.…”
