Beschreibung

4-Nitrophenyl 2-O-(a-L-fucopyranosyl)-a-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic pNP enzyme substrate consisting of a fucose and galactose moieties. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis by specific fucosidases or galactosidases, it releases the highly chromogenic molecule 4-nitrophenol, which exhibits a distinct yellow color that can be monitored spectrophotometrically. This substrate is frequently used to study enzyme specificity, kinetics, and inhibition, and it plays a critical role in the investigation of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes), the screening of enzyme inhibitors, and the development of novel analytical methods for the detection and quantitation of enzyme activities.
