H-Arg-Pro-pNA

Description:

H-Arg-Pro-pNA, also known as H-Arginine-Proline-p-nitroanilide, is a synthetic peptide that serves as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of proteolytic enzymes. This compound features an arginine (Arg) and proline (Pro) amino acid sequence, with a p-nitroanilide (pNA) moiety that is commonly used in colorimetric assays due to its ability to produce a measurable color change upon cleavage by enzymes. The presence of the pNA group allows for the quantification of enzyme activity, making it valuable in research and diagnostic applications. H-Arg-Pro-pNA is typically soluble in water and exhibits stability under standard laboratory conditions. Its molecular structure includes functional groups that facilitate interactions with enzymes, making it an effective tool for studying protease activity. As with many peptides, care must be taken regarding storage and handling to maintain its integrity and functionality in experimental settings.
