Substrati enzimatici

4-Methylumbelliferyl alpha-L-idopyranosiduronic acid 2-sulfate disodium salt is a chromogenic substrate that is used in the detection of glycosidases. It reacts with enzymes such as alpha-amylase, beta-galactosidase, and beta-glucosidase to produce a fluorescent product. This product can be detected using a fluorometer or spectrophotometer. The CAS number for 4-methylumbelliferyl alpha-L-idopyranosiduronic acid 2-sulfate disodium salt is 1045020-74-3.

Chemiluminescent phosphatase substrate in a wide pH range (pH 6 - 10)

4-Nitrophenyl decanoate is a chromogenic substrate for lipase. Upon hydrolysis, para-nitrophenol is released yielding a yellowish colour. 4-Nitrophenyl decanoate is used in different applications such as the Pancreatic insufficiency diagnosis, lipid metabolism studies

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-rhamnoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of alpha-L-rhamnosidase. 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 a-L-rhamnoside is used in bacterial rhamnose metabolism studies (e.g. E. coli).

Chromogenic substrate for α-galactosidase yielding a blue precipitate. Used for species differentiation within the family Enterobacteriaceae and differentiation of Bifido bacteria species from Lactobacillus species.

The 4-Nitrophenyl a-D-xylopyranoside is a highly sensitive and reliable chromogenic substrate tailored for the detection and analysis of alpha-D-xylosidase enzyme activity. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, it forms 4-nitrophenol, a yellow compound with remarkable fluorescence that enables a straightforward, quantitative assay in areas including environmental science, metabolism studies, and enzyme modifier exploration.

Chromogenic substrate for alpha-glucosidase

Coelenterazine and its derivatives spontaneously complex with aequorin to develop a Ca2+-dependent fluorescent signal.

Bis(4-methylumbelliferyl)phosphate is a fluorescent probe that can be used for the diagnosis of β-glucosidase. It has a phosphate group and can be used to study phosphodiesterases and phosphodiesters. Bis(4-methylumbelliferyl)phosphate is also a liposomal probe that can be used in kinetic studies. This compound has been shown to inhibit β-glucosidase, which is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreatic juice, at high concentrations. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to the accumulation of glucose and galactose in the blood, which can lead to diabetes mellitus or cancer.

4-Nitrophenyl 3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for alpha-glucosidase. Upon hydrolysis, para-nitrophenol is released yielding a yellowish colour. 4-Nitrophenyl 3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is used in different applications such as the Gaucher disease screening, carbohydrate metabolism studies

5-Iodo-3-indolyl b-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used for beta-galactosidase. It is incorporated into media or detection kits for rapid and direct identification of microorganisms.

AquaSpark™ α-D-galactoside is a dioxetane-based substrate for the luminescence detection of α-galactosidase activity. It is the first single-compound chemiluminescent substrate commercially available for the detection of α-galactosidase activity. α-galactosidase assays are used in molecular biology to monitor the transcriptional activity of the GLA gene that is correlated with metabolic diseases or gene mutations. In microbiology the α-galactosidase activity is used to detect specific bacteria such as α-galactosidase positive Salmonella strains (Salmonella Enteritidis RKI 05/07992).
