CAS 10238-27-4: o-Nitrophenyl β-D-xylopyranoside
Description:o-Nitrophenyl β-D-xylopyranoside is a chemical compound commonly used as a substrate in enzymatic assays, particularly for the detection of xylanase activity. It features a nitrophenyl group, which provides a chromogenic property, allowing for the measurement of enzymatic reactions through colorimetric changes. The β-D-xylopyranoside moiety indicates that it is a glycoside derived from xylose, a five-carbon sugar, which is significant in the context of polysaccharide degradation. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow solid and is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for laboratory applications. Its structure allows it to be hydrolyzed by specific enzymes, releasing o-nitrophenol, which can be quantified spectrophotometrically. The compound is also of interest in carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry for studying glycosidic bond cleavage and enzyme kinetics. Safety data should be consulted, as with any chemical, to ensure proper handling and disposal.
