About
Frank Zocher is a biochemist whose work has centered on the development and application of enzymatic assays, with a particular focus on epoxide hydrolases—enzymes critical for detoxification and the synthesis of chiral compounds. His most-cited contribution, "A colorimetric assay suitable for screening epoxide hydrolase activity" (1999, 65 citations), introduced a simple, high-throughput method that transformed the study of these enzymes by enabling rapid, visual detection of their activity. This assay has become a foundational tool for researchers exploring biocatalysis and drug metabolism, facilitating the discovery of novel epoxide hydrolases and their industrial applications. Zocher's work is notable for bridging fundamental enzymology with practical screening techniques, making complex biochemical processes accessible to a wider scientific community. His contributions have been instrumental in advancing the field of enzyme engineering, and his assay remains a widely cited reference for those investigating hydrolytic enzymes.
