4-FLUORO-2-NITROPHENYL BETA-D-GALACTOPYRANOSIDE

Description:

4-Fluoro-2-nitrophenyl β-D-galactopyranoside is a synthetic compound that serves as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly in the study of glycosidases and other enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds. This compound features a β-D-galactopyranoside moiety, which is a sugar derivative, linked to a 4-fluoro-2-nitrophenyl group, providing both a chromogenic and a fluorogenic property. The presence of the nitro group enhances the compound's reactivity and solubility in various solvents, making it useful in enzymatic studies. Its fluorine substitution can influence the electronic properties of the molecule, potentially affecting its interaction with enzymes. The compound is typically used in laboratory settings for research purposes, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken during its use.
