Suc-Phe-Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA

Description:

Suc-Phe-Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA, also known as Succinyl-Phenylalanine-Alanine-Alanine-Phenylalanine-p-nitroanilide, is a synthetic peptide substrate commonly used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving proteolytic enzymes. This compound features a succinyl group at one end, which enhances its solubility and stability, and a p-nitroanilide moiety that serves as a chromogenic indicator for enzyme activity. The peptide sequence includes phenylalanine and alanine residues, which are important for substrate specificity and interaction with various proteases. Upon cleavage by specific enzymes, the release of p-nitroaniline can be quantitatively measured, providing insights into enzyme kinetics and activity. The compound is typically utilized in assays to evaluate the performance of proteases, making it valuable in both research and clinical settings. Its characteristics, such as solubility, stability, and reactivity, are crucial for its application in enzyme assays, contributing to its role as a tool in understanding proteolytic processes.
