MP Biomedicals™ O-Nitrophenyl-β-D-Galactopyranoside, MP Biomedicals™
Shop All MP Biomedicals, Inc ProductsDescription
This product is hydrolyzed to O-Nitrophenol by the enzyme. O-Nitrophenol is yellow in alkaline solution and can be quantitated at 410-420nm2.
- β-galactosidase breaks down lactose into galactose and glucose
- β-galactosidase is not lactose specific and can act on simple galactosides
- 2-Nitrophenyl β-D-galactopyranoside hydrolysis results in the release of galactose and a yellow chromogenic compound
- The test substrate does not depend on an induced or constitutive permease enzyme to enter the cell
