Arginine p-nitroanilide

Description:

Arginine p-nitroanilide is a synthetic compound primarily used in biochemical research and assays, particularly for the detection of proteolytic enzymes. It is characterized by its structure, which includes an arginine moiety linked to a p-nitroanilide group. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid, and it is soluble in organic solvents like dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and slightly soluble in water. The presence of the p-nitroanilide group makes it a chromogenic substrate, allowing for colorimetric detection upon enzymatic cleavage, which is useful in various enzymatic assays. Arginine p-nitroanilide is sensitive to light and should be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its stability. Its applications extend to studies involving proteases, where it serves as a substrate to monitor enzyme activity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
