Alkali Scientific 4 Nitrophenyl 2 acetamido 2 deoxy β D glucopyranoside, 250 Mg

Supplier: Alkali Scientific HEN001CP
4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (250 mg) is a chemical reagent used in enzyme assays to study β-D-glucosidase activity. This compound serves as a substrate for the enzyme, where the cleavage of the glucosidic bond produces p-nitrophenol, which can be quantified spectrophotometrically. The compound's acetamido and deoxy groups enhance its specificity for particular enzymatic processes. This reagent is used primarily in glycoside hydrolase studies, which are vital for understanding cell wall biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and certain metabolic disorders. It is a critical tool for glycoscience and enzymology research.
