Substrati cromogenici

1-Naphthyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate. It is used in diagnostics and as a reagent for enzymatic analysis of alpha-mannosidase activity in culture media, food testing, and environmental testing.

Used in biological studies as a chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase; red color.Chlorophenol red indicates changes of pH in the range of 4.8 to 6.7 by turning the solution from yellow (at pH 4.8) to violet (at pH 6.7). Converted as signalogenic moiety of an enzyme substrate, chlorophenol red beta-D-galactopyranoside has a good proven sensitivity in the detection of beta-galactosidase activity in transfected mammalian cells, when compared to ONPG (o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside) (Eustice, 1991)

4-Nitrophenyl alpha-D-maltotetraoside is a chromogenic substrate used for the detection of alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase activity. The four glucose units in the molecule are hydrolyzed by the enzyme, releasing 4-nitrophenol and allowing for easy colorimetric measurement of enzymatic activity

4-Nitrophenyl beta-galactoside (pNP-Gal) is a chromogenic substrate commonly used in enzymatic assays to detect and quantify the presence of beta-galactosidase. It is hydrolyzed by the enzyme to release 4-nitrophenol, which produces a yellow color that can be measured spectrophotometrically. Similarly, 4-Nitrophenyl beta-glucoside (pNP-Glc) can be used to assay beta-glucosidase activity. 4-Nitrophenyl beta-globotrioside (pNP-Glo) is a similar compound that has been designed as a substrate for glycosidases that cleave terminal beta-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetylgalactosamine residues. In these assays, the release of 4-nitrophenol can be measured to determine the activity of the enzyme under study. The use of chromogenic substrates like pNP-Glo allows for the rapid and reliable detection of glycosidase activity in a variety of biological samples.

Modified naphtol AS substrate used in histochemical and cytochemical staining

2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-lysine hydrochloride monohydrate is a lysine derivative that has been modified with a 2,4-dinitrophenyl group. It could be used as an enzyme substrate to monitor enzymes that recognize and modify lysine residues, such as lysine methyltransferases and demethylases, lysine acylases and lysine oxidases.

Remazol Brilliant Blue R D-xylan is a chromogenic substrate used for the detection and quantification of xylanase enzyme activity. This substrate consists of a xylan polymer backbone covalently linked to the Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye. Upon cleavage by xylanase enzymes, the dye is released, producing a vibrant blue color that can be easily measured spectrophotometrically. This substrate is widely used in various applications, including the study of xylanase-producing microorganisms, optimization of enzyme production, and evaluation of enzyme kinetics.

Modified naphtol AS substrate used in histochemical and cytochemical staining

3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole is a peroxidase substrate suitable for use in immunoblotting and immunohistochemical staining procedures. This substrate produces an insoluble end product that is red in color and can be observed visually.

6-Benzoyl-2-naphthylphosphate disodium salt is a chromogenic substrate used to detect and quantify alkaline phosphatase activity. After enzymatic hydrolysis, 6-benzoyl-2-naphthol is released, which can be detect or even further react with other reagents (e.g. Fast Red) to increase the intensity of the colorimetric signal. It is used in common applications such as ELISA, immunohistochemistry and Western Blotting.
