title: High-throughput microtiter plate-based chromogenic assays for glycosidase inhibitors.
abstract: Rapid microtiter plate-based colorimetric assays have been developed that allow the screening of large numbers of samples for the presence of inhibitors of alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amylase, and beta-galactosidase. The assays are particularly useful for screening large numbers of microbial culture filtrates.
