CAS 3767-28-0: p-Nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside
Description:p-Nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside is a synthetic compound commonly used as a substrate in enzymatic assays, particularly for the detection of glycosidase activity. It is characterized by its structure, which consists of a glucopyranoside moiety linked to a p-nitrophenyl group. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for laboratory applications. Upon hydrolysis by glycosidases, it releases p-nitrophenol, which can be quantified spectrophotometrically, providing a means to measure enzyme activity. The compound is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be stored away from light to prevent degradation. Its molecular formula reflects its composition of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, and it has a specific molecular weight. p-Nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside is widely utilized in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme kinetics.
