Product Information

• Name: 4-Nitrophenyl b-D-ribofuranoside
• Synonyms: PNP-b-D-riboside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-ribofuranoside is a synthetic chromogenic molecule designed to profile phosphorolytic enzyme activity, specifically ribonucleoside-hydrolyzing enzymes. Upon hydrolysis by these enzymes, it releases a 4-nitrophenolic compound, which can be monitored spectrophotometrically at 405-410 nm as a quantitative indicator of enzyme activity. This substrate is suitable for studying ribonucleoside-hydrolyzing enzymes, such as ribo- and deoxyribonucleases, in various biological systems and, in turn, could help advance our understanding of nucleic acid metabolism, gene function, and regulatory processes.
