1-Methyl-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (CAS 207598-26-3)
QUICK LINKS
1-Methyl-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside is a compound of interest in biochemistry and molecular biology research, primarily due to its role as a chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase enzyme assays. It is used in gene expression studies that involve the LacZ gene, where the activity of β-galactosidase results in a measurable color change. This colorimetric response allows for the quantification of promoter activity and the optimization of gene expression systems. Furthermore, 1-Methyl-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside is employed in the identification and characterization of bacterial colonies that possess β-galactosidase activity. Its utility extends to enzymology, where it serves as a tool for investigating the kinetics and mechanistic actions of β-galactosidase enzymes derived from various biological sources.
