Stilbeninspecific
Stilbeninspecific is a term used in chemistry and biochemistry to describe phenomena that show selectivity for stilbene-type compounds. It denotes interactions, reactions, or analytical responses that preferentially involve stilbenes and discriminate against related non-stilbene substrates.
Stilbenes are a class of polyphenolic compounds characterized by two phenyl rings joined by a carbon–carbon
In enzymology, stilbenin-specific activity refers to enzymes or catalytic systems that preferentially modify stilbene substrates over
In analytical chemistry, stilbenin-specific detectors or assays exploit the distinct UV–visible absorption and fluorescence properties of
Status and usage: The term is descriptive and not a formal IUPAC category. It is used variably
