2,4-Dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-b-D-xylopyranoside (DNFX) is a transglycosylation reagent that can be used to inactivate enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of xylosides. DNFX undergoes a covalent reaction with these enzymes and inhibits them by binding to the active site. DNFX catalyses the reaction between xylose and nucleophiles such as hydroxide ions, thiols, or amines. DNFX also has a catalytic effect on electrospray ionization and can be used for the detection of nucleophile activity.

Aldol® 495 phosphate is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of phosphatase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by acid and alkaline phosphatases secreted by bacteria in liquid or solid media, yielding orange color and green fluorescence. Aldol® 495 phosphate can also be used in Western blots and other immunoassay applications with phosphatase-coupled secondary antibodies. Aldol® 495 phosphate can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl palmitate is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of lipase. After cleavage, 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl is released, resulting in a blue to blue-green color change in bacterial colonies or media. 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl palmitate is used in lipase activity assays or cystic fibrosis diagnostics.

4-Nitrophenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-levulinoyl-a-D-mannopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate that contains a reactive group of 2,3,4-tri-O-levulinoyl. This compound can be used to measure the activity of enzymes such as beta-glucosidase and alpha-galactosidase. 4NP2OMP is an excellent ligand for metal ions and has been shown to bind to copper in the presence of ATP. 4NP2OMP can also be used as a diagnostic agent for measuring the activity of bacterial beta-glucosidase and alpha galactosidase.

Rhodamine 6G (Basic Red 1) assists in Pgp and MRP1 kinetic studies, serves as a laser dye, and may probe mitochondria.

Aldol® 470 choline phosphate is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of phosphatidyl-choline specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC, EC 3.1.4.3) activity. The colorless product is cleaved by PC-PLC positive microorganisms in liquid or solid media, yielding a yellow color and green fluorescence. Aldol® 470 choline phosphate therefore, enables the detection and identification of PC-PLC positive pathogenic bacteria, such as, Clostridium perfringens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Helicobacter pylori, Legionella pneumophila, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, and others. Aldol® 470 choline phosphate can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

4-Nitrophenyl 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside is an advanced bifunctional chromogenic pNP substrate specifically tailored for the simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple glycosidase enzymes. This dual-action substrate undergoes cleavage by two separate enzymatic reactions, which increases the range and sensitivity of detection. The resulting 4-Nitrophenol release can be easily measured spectrophotometrically, providing rapid and reliable enzyme analysis for advanced enzymology studies, enabling new discoveries in biochemistry and biotechnology.
