Substrats d'enzymes

AquaSpark® alpha-D-glucoside is a bioluminescent substrate that can be used in assays for detecting enzyme activity in cells or tissues.

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indoxyl choline phosphate is a chemiluminescent substrate for the detection of bacterial activity. It reacts with an enzyme, luciferase, which is present in a variety of living cells. The reaction produces light. This product has been tested for environmental and food safety by the manufacturer. 5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indoxyl choline phosphate is used as a diagnostic tool to determine the presence of bacteria in humans, animals, and plants. It can be used to measure levels of bacteria in culture media, water samples, and food products. 5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indoxyl choline phosphate can also be used as a substrate for enzymes such as phosphatases or esterases that catalyze reactions with substrates with brominated or chlorinated groups.

Aldol® 470 L-pyroglutamic acid amide is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of pyrrolidonyl peptidase (PYRase) activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by PYRase-producing bacteria grown in liquid or solid media, yielding orange color. In addition, green fluorescence is generated when a suitable matrix is present, such as, the surface of cellulose acetate filters, polypropylene tubes or microplates, and polyethylene vials. Aldol® 470 L-pyroglutamic acid amide is suitable for use under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Chromogenic substrate targeting the beta-galactosidase enzyme

AquaSpark® beta-D-galactoside, 10 mM in DMSO is a fluorogenic substrate for beta-galactosidase. This is typically used at 10 – 50 µM final concentration. Cymit Quimica provides AquaSpark® beta-D-galactoside as a 10 mM stock solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for convenience and improved storage stability.

Acetyl coenzyme A trilithium salt trihydrate (ATC) is a glutathione-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the acetylation of compounds with a thiol group. Acetyl coenzyme A trilithium salt trihydrate has been shown to acetylate recombinant human and hek293 cells as well as xenobiotic compounds such as acetaminophen, chlorzoxazone, and phenacetin. The rate of acetylation depends on the concentration of glutathione and the availability of the substrate. There is no evidence that ATC conjugates or transfers acetyllysine to other proteins. It is excreted in the urine after being expressed by recombinant human and hek293 cells.END>

The Aldol® 470 N-tosyl-L-alanine ester is a high purity, high quality fluorogenic substrate for the enzyme alkaline phosphatase. It is a conjugate of the tosyl group with L-alanine and has been used as a fluorogenic substrate in various food testing applications. The Aldol® 470 N-tosyl-L-alanine ester also has several other uses including in diagnostic methods, culture media, and enzyme substrates.

5-bromo-3-indolyl-b-d-glucopyranoside, also known as 5BIG, is an enzyme substrate for beta-glucosidase. It is used in bacterial assays for the identifcation of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. After cleavege, it gives an intense blue color.
