2-Chloro-4-nitrophenyl a-D-fucopyranoside (CNPF) is a chromogenic enzyme substrate used primarily to detect fucosidase activity. CNPF is cleaved by the enzyme, which results in the release of a colored product that can be measured spectrophotometrically. Fucosidases are important enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of fucose-containing oligosaccharides, and CNPF is a commonly used substrate for the detection and quantification of these enzymes in various research studies.

N-Benzoyl-Val-Gly-Arg p-nitroanilide hydrochloride is a fluorogenic substrate that can be used for the detection of β-glucuronidase. It has been shown to have high purity and quality, which makes it an excellent choice for use in food testing and staining.

Aldol acetate is a chromogenic substrate that is used in food testing and diagnostics. Aldol acetate can be used in the detection of aminopeptidase and dipeptidyl peptidase activities, as well as in the determination of urinary proteins. Aldol acetate can also be used to detect anaerobic bacteria. This compound is conjugated with various ligands for use in immunoassays, such as beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-naphthyl phosphate ester, and phenyl phosphate ester. This product has been shown to be useful for chemiluminescent assays of DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases in environmental samples. It has also been shown to be useful for bioluminescent assays of DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases in environmental samples.

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl palmitate is a magenta enzyme substrate that is widely used in the study of lipase and esterase enzymes. This compound consists of an indole ring with bromine and chlorine atoms at positions 5 and 6, respectively, and a palmitate moiety esterified to the indolyl ring. The palmitate group is a long-chain fatty acid, making this substrate particularly useful for investigating enzymes that hydrolyze ester bonds in lipids. Upon cleavage by lipases or esterases, 5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl palmitate releases a magenta-colored product, which can be easily detected and quantified to measure enzyme activity.

1-Naphthyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate commonly used to assay the activity of enzymes that cleave N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide, such as beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Upon cleavage by the enzyme of interest, the substrate releases a yellow-colored 1-naphthylamine, which can be measured spectrophotometrically. This substrate is widely used in biomedical research and drug discovery for studying lysosomal storage disorders, bacterial infections, and neurological diseases.

Aldol® 515 palmitate is a high quality, non-toxic and water soluble chromogenic substrate for enzymes. It is used to detect the presence of lipase activity due to yielding a red color.

Aldol® 470 N-tosyl-L-alanine ester is a fluorogenic substrate that is used in enzyme and chromogenic assays. It is a high purity, high quality, and highly soluble substrate for chemiluminescent reactions. Aldol® 470 N-tosyl-L-alanine ester can be used to detect the presence of bacteria in culture media and as an indicator of bacterial growth. It is also used to test for the presence of different types of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of alcohols.

6-Bromo-2-naphthyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is a strong inhibitor of alpha-mannosidase. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which are both known to cause bacterial infections in humans. 6BNA inhibits the enzyme alpha-mannosidase, which hydrolyzes terminal α-(1,4)-linked mannose residues from oligosaccharides and glycoproteins. This drug has a high affinity for the active site of alpha-mannosidase and an IC50 value of 0.2 mM, making it an effective inhibitor.

BCIP is a dye that can be used as a substrate in a fluorometric assay to detect the presence of effector proteins. It is also used in analytical chemistry to detect phosphate, and as a reagent in diagnostic tests for mucin gene expression. BCIP has been shown to have transcriptional regulatory effects on genes encoding for proteins involved in antibody production. BCIP has been shown to act as an effector protein, which influences the amount of mRNA produced by the gene encoding for tissue culture cells. BCIP can also be used as a model system to study the regulation of transcription in vitro.
A hybridization technique using BCIP with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II has been demonstrated and applied to analyze the mechanism of transcriptional control at the level of individual genes. The use of this technique allows for analysis at a single gene level and may allow for better understanding of transcriptional regulation.
