title: Fluorescein as an artificial enzyme to mimic peroxidase.
abstract: Fluorescein was found to possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, which could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2to produce a color reaction. It opens the possibility of using such small molecules as peroxidase-like catalysts.
