ABSTRACT
An indicator displacement assay has been adapted to detect the diol products of the aldol reaction between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and hydroxyacetone in crude reaction mixtures. This provides a rapid colorimetric method of detecting product formation and thus evaluating potential catalysts, which is demonstrated using multiple catalytic peptides.
