4-Methylumbelliferyl pyrophosphate diester disodium salt is a fluorogenic substrate for pyrophosphatases or diphosphatases. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl pyrophosphate diester disodium saltas a substrate for measuring the pyrophosphatases or diphosphatases activity is used for monitoring and diagnosis of pyrophosphatase deficiency and bone metabolism disorder.

A non-metabolizable allolactose analogue, widely used in molecular biology for overexpression of recombinant proteins from inducible systems under the control of lac promoter. IPTG binds to the LacI repressor and causes its release from the lac operator, allowing gene expression to take place. Present in vectors of pGEX, pGEM-T, pET, pRSET, pMAL class and others.

Coelenterazine is a bio-luminescent substrate of luciferases such as Renilla luciferase (Rluc) and Gaussia luciferase (Gluc). The main applications of Coelenterazine are monitoring of reporter genes and chemiluminescence-based methods for Calcium detection. The substrate is also used in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), ELISA, HTS and chemiluminescent detection of superoxide anion and peroxynitritein cells or tissues. About this grade Coelenterazine, native, dried (C-7002): in order to provide milligram and sub-milligram quantities of native Coelenterazine we pre-dissolve the substance; defined amounts of Coelenterazine are subsequently dried under nitrogen in individual vials. Coelenterazine, native, dried is identical in quality and chemistry to our product Coelenterazine, native which is provided as a powder. Information to the user: since Coelenterazine is sensitive to oxygen, degas your solvents for stock solutions, if possible. To dissolve Coelenterazine, native, dried please proceed as follows. 1) Add the appropriate amount of solvent. If possible through the septum using a needle. Otherwise open the cap with pliers. 2) Vortex the closed vial briefly to completely dissolve the content of the vial. 3) Take out the solution, if possible with a needle through the septum.

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide cyclohexylammonium salt is a magenta enzyme substrate commonly used in biochemical assays. This compound is a derivative of indole, containing bromine and chlorine atoms at positions 5 and 6, respectively. The glucuronide moiety is attached to the indolyl ring, and the cyclohexylammonium cation serves as a counterion to balance the charge. This substrate is often utilized in the detection and quantification of β-glucuronidase activity, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of glucuronides. Upon cleavage by β-glucuronidase, the substrate produces a magenta-colored product, allowing for easy visualization and measurement of enzyme activity.

Substrate for horseradish peroxidase

AquaSpark® H2S probe is a chemiluminescent probe for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), with excellent selectivity for sulfide over thiols. The AquaSpark® H2S probe is ~760-fold more selective for Na2S than to L-cysteine, and ~380-fold more selective for Na2S than for glutathione. AquaSpark® H2S probe was used in a study identifying antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains by detecting the beta-lactamase-driven hydrolysis of beta-lactam antibiotics, where hydrogen sulfide is a biodegradation metabolite (Popat Gholap et al, 2021).

Tetrabutylphosphonium p-toluenesulfonate is a fluorogenic substrate that is used in the diagnosis of cytochrome P450 enzymes. It is a ligand that binds to metal ions, such as copper and zinc. This compound is also used for the preparation of bioluminescent substrates for use in diagnostics and research.

4-Methylumbelliferyl alpha-D-xylopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate for alpha-xylosidase. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl alpha-D-xylopyranosideas a substrate for measuring the alpha-xylosidase activity is used for oligosaccharidosis monitoring and other lysosomal storage disorder diagnosis.
