4-Nitrophenyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside - CAS 18918-31-5

4-Nitrophenyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside is a substrate commonly employed in various biochemical assays to measure the activity of rhamnose-hydrolyzing enzymes such as α-L-rhamnosidase. The compound possesses unique chemical properties that enable it to be hydrolyzed by these enzymes, resulting in the formation of a yellow product known as p-nitrophenol. This characteristic makes it a valuable tool for detecting and quantifying rhamnose-hydrolyzing enzyme activity in biological samples or microbial cultures.
