Substrati enzimatici

Also known as BCIP; can be used for visualization of phosphatase labelled antibodies on Western blots. This method quickly became extremely popular in diagnostics and biology research.

6-Bromo-2-naphthyl b-D-glucopyranoside is an enzyme substrate used in chromogenic assays with beta-glucosidases. It has been used in culture media for the identification of Legionella pneumophila.

Ostazin Brilliant Red H-3B is a water soluble, non-toxic, and non-hazardous substrate for enzymes that catalyze reactions involving the cleavage of β-D-glucosides. It is used as a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate in diagnostic tests. Ostazin Brilliant Red H-3B can also be used in bioluminescence reaction with luciferase to measure ATP levels in living cells.

DMNPE-caged form of luciferin

4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-(b-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-a-D-galactopyranoside is a specific chromogenic substrate designed for the highly sensitive and accurate detection of glycosidase enzyme activity. Glycosidases are responsible for the cleavage of glycosidic bonds between saccharide units in various carbohydrates. The hydrolysis of this substrate by glycosidase enzymes produces 4-nitrophenol, a yellow-colored compound that can be easily monitored through spectrophotometric measurements due to its strong absorbance at 405 nm. This chromogenic substrate is widely used in the analysis of glycosidase activity in various biological samples, including bacterial, fungal, and plant tissues, as well as in environmental samples and biotechnological applications.

Fluorogenic substrate for esterase with C8 activity yielding a blue fluorescent solution upon cleavage. Used for the identification of Salmonella spp. based on the detection of caprylate esterase.

Fluorogenic substrate for carboxylesterase

Substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP). HRP catalyzes oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol in the presence of peroxide to the blue insoluble product 4-chloro-1-naphthon. It is used for both blotting and immunohistochemical staining but is less sensitive than other precipitating HRP substrates.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-galactofuranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of beta-D-galactofuranosidase. After cleavage, 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl is released, resulting in a blue to blue-green color change in bacterial colonies or media. 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-galactofuranoside is used in assays for detecting bacterial pathogens (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis).

PAIRED PRODUCT AVAILABLE: alpha-L-iduronidase Enzyme, FI1793834MU-alpha-L-iduronide-2-sulphate (M2) is a fluorogenic substrate of iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS), used in a 2-step assay coupled with alpha-L-iduronidase. The assay is used in biochemical testing for Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II / MPS II). In a first step, IDS from biological samples cleaves the sulphate group from M2. In a second step, exogeneous alpha-L-iduronidase which cleaves the 4-MU moiety is added to the reaction, resulting in release of a fluorescent signal (Ex 360 nm / Em 455 nm). The reaction is stopped by the addition of sodium carbonate.

6-Chloro-3-indoxyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for beta-galactosidase that yields a salmon or rose-coloured precipitate and hence is also known as Salmon-Gal. It can be used in conjunction with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) as an alternative to the chromogenic substrate 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl beta-D-galactopyranoside (X-Gal) for detection of beta-galactosidase activity in bacterial colonies in colorimetric assays. Where beta-galactosidase expressed from a reporter gene in molecular biology experiments, recombinant colonies on growth plates are salmon-coloured while non-recombinants appear as white. Use of nitroblue tetrazolium salt (NBT) with Salmon-Gal may provide faster results, yielding a clear, purple precipitate, than for Salmon-Gal alone. In conjunction with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucoside (X-Glc), Salmon-Gal is useful for simultaneous detection of GUS and Lac activities in the same medium.

Substrate for beta-galactosidase

L-Lysyl-L-alanine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin dihydrochloride is a fluorogenic peptide substrate for aminopeptidase. This AMC peptide substrate is normally used to rapidly profile the N-terminal specificity of proteases.

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl a-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate that yields a magenta-colored product after cleavage. The chromophore 5-bromo-6-chloro-indoxyl is released, generating the observable color. It is used in glycolipid metabolism studies.

Resorufin b-D-xylobioside is a fluorogenic substrate for xylanases useful for xylanase activity assays.

A fluorogenic substrate for detection of enzymatic activity of the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro protease. The fluorophore 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) is linked to the tetrapeptide via a peptide bond at the C-terminal of the glutamine residue. Following the hydrolytic activity of the Mpro protease, the fluorogenic AMC group get released from the substrate, generating a fluorescent signal (Ex 380 nm / Em 455 nm).
