:Ac-Glu-pNA
Description:
Ac-Glu-pNA, or N-acetyl-L-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide, is a synthetic peptide substrate commonly used in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of enzymes such as glutamyl peptidases. This compound features an acetylated amino acid (N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid) linked to a p-nitroaniline moiety, which serves as a chromogenic indicator. Upon enzymatic cleavage by specific proteases, Ac-Glu-pNA releases p-nitroaniline, resulting in a measurable color change that can be quantified spectrophotometrically. The characteristics of Ac-Glu-pNA include its solubility in organic solvents and water, stability under standard laboratory conditions, and its role as a substrate in enzyme kinetics studies. Its molecular structure allows for selective interactions with target enzymes, making it a valuable tool in both research and diagnostic applications. The compound is typically handled with standard laboratory safety precautions, as with many chemical substances.

Ac-Glu-pNA
CAS:<p>Ac-Glu-pNA is a synthetic substrate that is used in protease assays. Its amino acid sequence contains reactive groups, such as the carboxy terminal, that are cleaved by proteases. Ac-Glu-pNA has been shown to be a good substrate for thermophilic and licheniformis proteases and has been reported to be stable at neutral pH values.</p>Formula:C13H15N3O6Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:309.27 g/mol
