How can Mutagenicity be Assessed in Catalytic Processes?
Mutagenicity can be assessed using various bioassays and chemical tests. Common bioassays include the Ames test, which uses bacteria to detect mutagenic activity, and the micronucleus test, which assesses chromosomal damage in mammalian cells. Additionally, computational modeling and QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship) analyses can predict the mutagenic potential of new catalysts and intermediates.
