About
Markus M. Enzelberger is a biochemist and enzymologist whose work has advanced the development of high-throughput screening methods for biocatalysis. His primary research focuses on enzyme engineering and assay design, particularly for epoxide hydrolases—key enzymes in the synthesis of chiral intermediates for pharmaceuticals. His most-cited paper, "A colorimetric assay suitable for screening epoxide hydrolase activity" (1999, 65 citations), introduced a simple, rapid method for detecting epoxide hydrolase activity using a pH indicator, enabling efficient screening of enzyme libraries. This contribution has been instrumental in accelerating the discovery of enantioselective biocatalysts. Enzelberger’s work bridges fundamental enzymology and applied biotechnology, providing tools that have been widely adopted in industrial and academic settings. His assay remains a cornerstone in the field, demonstrating lasting impact through continued citations and adaptations.
