摘要

To identify potential applications of nineteen esterases from thermophiles, we mapped their substrate selectivity and enantioselectivity using a library of 50 esters. We measured the selectivities colorimetrically using Quick E, which uses pH indicators to detect hydrolysis and a chromogenic reference compound as an internal control. The substrate selectivity mapping revealed one esterase, E018b, with a strong preference for acetyl esters (14-to ...
