METHYL-BETA-D-GALACTOPYRANOSIDE CAS:1824-94-8

Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chemical compound typically derived from galactose. It is a methylated form of beta-D-galactose, where a methyl group replaces one of the hydroxyl groups of the sugar molecule. This modification alters the properties of galactose, making it more stable and suitable for various applications in biochemistry and molecular biology. Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is commonly used as a substrate in enzyme assays, particularly in studies involving the activity of beta-galactosidase. It is also utilized as a molecular probe to study carbohydrate recognition and interactions, especially in lectin-mediated processes.

Application and Effect

Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is commonly used as a substrate in enzyme assays, particularly in studies involving the activity of beta-galactosidase. Beta-galactosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into galactose and glucose, and methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside serves as an alternative substrate for this enzyme. By measuring the enzyme's activity on this substrate, researchers can determine the effectiveness of different inhibitors or activators on beta-galactosidase.

Additionally, methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is employed as a molecular probe to study carbohydrate recognition and interactions, particularly in lectin-mediated processes. Lectins are proteins that specifically bind to carbohydrates, and they play critical roles in various biological processes such as cell adhesion, immune response, and signaling. Methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside can be used to assess the binding affinity of lectins towards galactose-containing carbohydrates. This helps in understanding the structure-function relationship of lectins and their role in biological processes.
