A highly sensitive, fluorescence-based selectivity screening system for 2-deoxy-d-ribose-5-phosphate aldolases was realized by installing short, straightforward syntheses to fluorophore-coupled carbohydrates as d-ribose, l-ribose, and d-xylose. The substrates allow the simultaneous determination of enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of DERA-catalyzed aldol reactions.
