title: A high-throughput screening assay for hydroxynitrile lyase activity.
abstract: A high-throughput screening assay for hydroxynitrile lyase activity accepting a wide range of HNL-substrates is presented, which is useful either for enzyme fingerprinting or screening of huge variant libraries generated in metagenome or directed evolution approaches.
