4-NITROPHENYL-ALPHA-D-MANNOPYRANOSIDE CAS:10357-27-4

Specifically, it is commonly used for the detection of beta-mannosidase activity.When 4-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is cleaved by beta-mannosidase, it releases a yellow-colored product called 4-nitrophenol. The intensity of the yellow color is directly proportional to the amount of beta-mannosidase activity present in the sample.The assay using 4-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is often used to study enzyme kinetics, measure enzyme activity levels, and screen for mutants or inhibitors of beta-mannosidase. This compound provides a quick and convenient way to quantitatively measure the activity of this specific enzyme.
