L-Leucyl-4-nitroanilide hydrochloride

SKU: orb2940829

Description

L-Leucyl-4-nitroanilide hydrochloride is a substrate commonly employed in various biochemical assays for assessing the activity of enzymes such as proteases that cleave peptide bonds. With its unique chemical properties, L-Leucine p-nitroanilide hydrochloride can be cleaved by these enzymes to produce a yellow product known as p-nitroaniline. This characteristic makes it a valuable tool for detecting and quantifying protease activity in biological samples such as blood or tissue extracts.
