Enzyme-catalysed reactions are widely used for analytical purposes, for the determination of substrates (e.g. glucose oxidase for determination of glucose) and of inhibitors (such as pesticides, by their inhibition of cholinesterase) and activators. Although enzymes are very useful as analytical reagents, they are not classified individually in this Dictionary. However, enzymes themselves are extensively assayed by clinical chemists, biochemists, forensic scientists and food chemists, and the substrates used for such assays are carefully chosen to achieve optimum sensitivity, selectivity and reliability. Such substrates are listed in this Dictionary, as are the co-enzymes (co-factors) required by many redox enzymes, for example nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD /NADH) which is a co-enzyme for many dehydrogenases, e.g. 

This Index classifies virtually all reagents in the Dictionary under three or more headings according to analyte (e.g. copper), compound group (e.g. pheno-thiazine) and analytical application (e.g. chromatographic derivatisation reagent). 

In this Dictionary, the following analytical application areas are identified. Reagents having entries in the Dictionary are indicated in boldface type.
