Fluorogenic Substrates

Fluorogenic substrate for proglutamyl peptidase 1 yielding a blue fluorescent solution upon cleavage. Used in identification of Enterococcus spp. and group A streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes).

The Methionine Assay Kit (Fluorometric) is a kit containing the fluorogenic substrate needed for the determination of total methionine content. The kit is used to detect and quantify methionine in various food products, as well as in environmental samples. This assay can be used to measure free or protein-bound methionine. The fluorometric kit contains a conjugate that binds to the methionine molecule and provides a fluorescent signal proportional to the amount of bound methionine. The fluorescence intensity is measured on a fluorometer and converted into concentrations of methionine per gram of sample.

N-CBZ-L-Lysyl-L-lysyl-L-arginine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin triacetate is a synthetic peptide substrate used as a fluorogenic substrate for aminopeptidase.

A sensitive fluorogenic substrate for fluorometric and UV-spectrophotometric assays of phosphatases. It is used for the detection of C. perfringens because acid phosphatase is a highly specific indicator for C. perfringens.

6-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)umbelliferyl b-D-cellotrioside is a fluorogenic substrate for cellulases and beta-glucosidases. After hydrolisis, the fluorophore TFMU is released generating a blue fluorescence.

A fluorogenic substrate for the detection of lysosomal enzyme N-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosiaminidase (NAGA), which is driving the pathogenesis of Schindler disease. Also substrate for endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (O-glycosidase), which cleaves O-linked core 1 and core 3 disaccharides from glycoproteins.

FLsharp™ - Phosphate, disodium salt is a fluorogenic water soluble substrate for phosphatase enzymes. After cleavage of the substrate by phosphatase activity an insoluble product is formed that is highly fluorescent in the solid state. Upon UV irradiation this very stable fluorophore emits green light in the 530 nm range for an extended period of time. FLsharp™ - Phosphate is a unique substrate - optimized for the detection of phosphatase activity in solid matrices such as agar media, tissuesections or microscopic preparations. FLsharp™ - Phosphate, disodium salt is used in microbiology as asubstrate for bacterial phosphatases. The substrate is suitable to detect the specific phosphatase activity of S. aureus or C. perfringensin food samples or clinical samples. Colonies growing on plating media supplemented with FLsharp™ emit green light upon UV light excitation(Excitation max: 365 nm; emission max: 530 nm). The enzyme product formed from FLsharp™ in agar plating media enables high precision for the localization of the relevant colonies on the plate. As a result small bacteria colonies of phosphatase-positive bacteria can be detected already after a short incubation time.  In cytochemical and histochemical imaging FLsharp™ - Phosphate, disodiumsalt can be used as a substrate for Alkaline Phosphatase (AP)-coupled antibodies. The fluorophore that is released from FLsharp™ - Phosphateby phosphatase activity will precipitate. This insoluble fluorophoreen ables a precise localization of the antibody-bound epitope in cells or tissues under a fluorescence microscope or fluorescence imaging system. The green fluorescence of FLsharp™ can be clearly differentiated from autofluorescence or counterstainings such as (blue) DAPI or (red) Alexafluorophores.

The 4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-ribofuranoside is a top-notch fluorogenic substrate for glycosidase activity detection. Upon hydrolysis by enzymes, it generates a strongly fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone molecule, enabling rapid assay results and real-time monitoring of enzymatic reactions. This product is suitable for many biological research applications, such as in vitro analysis, diagnostic testing, and drug discovery. With its high sensitivity and specificity, it delivers consistent and accurate results, making it an essential tool for scientists and researchers.

Fluorogenic substrate for chitinase

Fluorogenic substrate for detection of β-D-mannosidase.

L-Proline 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin hydrobromide salt is a fluorogenic peptide substrate for proline-specific peptidase. This AMC peptide substrate is normally used to rapidly profile the N-terminal specificity of proteases.

4-Methylumbelliferyl N,N',N''-triacetyl-beta-D-chitotrioside is a fluorogenic substrate for chitinase. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl N,N',N''-triacetyl-beta-D-chitotriosideas a substrate for measuring the chitinase activity is used for fungal infection assays.

4-Methylumbelliferyl-beta-L-fucopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate that is used in food testing. It also has uses as a chromogenic substrate and a ligand for biological studies. 4-Methylumbelliferyl-beta-L-fucopyranoside is a conjugate of 4-methylumbelliferone and beta-D-fucopyranosyl ester, which is an enzyme substrate for the detection of phosphatases. This product can be used to detect the activity of phosphatase enzymes in various media, including culture media, environmental testing, and staining. 4MUFBPY also has chemiluminescent properties that can be used for bioluminescence assays.

A fluorogenic MOSCERDAM® substrate targeting cellulases

L-Ala-PAB-resorufin is a highly sensitive chromogenic and fluorogenic indicator for L-alanine aminopeptidase activity and related enzymes occurring in prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic organisms. After removal of the L-alanyl substructure by enzymatic hydrolysis and spontaneous elimination of the para-aminobenzyl spacer, the initially orange colored compound yields an intense pink color and red fluorescence.
