Dye-integrated photocrosslinkable polymers and networks for the visual chromogenic detection of a bacterial enzyme

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Non-cytotoxic, photocrosslinked copolymers with bound chromogenic dyes enable visual detection of bacterial β-glucuronidase via color change, which demonstrates great diagnostic potential in wound treatment, food safety, and environmental monitoring.
