Abstract:There are several well-known methods for determining enzyme catalytic activity, including spectral techniques and electrochemical approaches. However, at present, there is no definitive solution to the challenges associated with the fluorescent approach in, for instance, systems of reverse micelles, non-aqueous media, and model biomembranes. We propose the use of the fluorescent resonant energy transfer (FRET) technique, which can enhance the selectivity of fluorescent detection of enzyme activity by shifting … Show more
