Product Description: 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-cellotrioside (p-Nitopheyl β-D-cellotioside) is a chromogenic substrate for endoglucanases and cellulose biohydrolases. As a fluorescent dye, nitrophenyl β-D-Cellotrioside can be hydrolyzed by enzymes to release 4-nitrophenol, producing a yellow color. The activity of the enzyme can be quantitatively analyzed by monitoring the change in absorbance at 405 nm[1].
Formula: C24H35NO18
