Product Information

• Name: Pyr-Pro-Arg-pNA hydrochloride salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pyr-Pro-Arg-pNA hydrochloride salt is a chromogenic substrate that is used to detect microorganisms in the blood. This substrate is activated by the enzyme ochraceous, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of pyr-pro-arg-pNA. The reaction produces hydrogen peroxide and an orange color. Pyr-Pro-Arg-pNA hydrochloride salt can be used as an anticoagulant for blood plasma samples. It can also be used to identify Aspergillus ochraceus, a fungus that causes pulmonary infections in humans. Aspergillus ochraceus has been shown to produce this enzyme and to have a high affinity for this substrate.
