Abstract
As delineated in Chapter 26, the directed evolution of enantioselective enzymes for use in synthetic organic chemistry requires the availability of high-throughput screening systems for determining the enantiomeric excess (ee) of thousands of samples (1). In this chapter the protocols of some of the most practical ee-screens are presented.
