Novel enzymes as reagents.
Enzymes are now used in a wide range of analytical methods, primarily for the measurement of substrates and as labels in immunoassays. Enzymes from microbial sources are becoming the preferred choice because of ease of extraction, catabolic activities and opportunities for enhancing yields. Protein engineering of bacterial enzymes will also play a role in future enzyme design with respect to improvements in specificity, reaction kinetics and stability.
