Abstract
On the Front Cover, cellulolytic enzymes break down plant fibers into fermentable sugars, providing a route to biofuel production. A hydrogel reagent signaling (HyReS) system is developed that converts oligosaccharides produced during biomass hydrolysis into a fluorescent hydrogel. When combined with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, this system allows the real-time detection and localization of enzyme activity. More details can be found in the Full Paper on page 2825 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201402428), while more information about the research group is available in the Cover Profile (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201402796).
