Chymotrypsin Substrate II, Fluorogenic is a specially designed peptide that serves as a substrate for the enzyme chymotrypsin, a digestive protease that cleaves peptide bonds at the carboxyl side of aromatic amino acids like tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine. The fluorogenic aspect of this substrate means that upon enzymatic cleavage by chymotrypsin, it releases a fluorescent signal, allowing for real-time monitoring of the enzyme′s activity. This property makes it an invaluable tool in various research and analytical applications, particularly in the study of protease activity and inhibitor screening. By measuring the increase in fluorescence intensity as the substrate is cleaved, researchers can determine the enzyme′s velocity, substrate affinity (Km), and catalytic efficiency (kcat), providing insights into its catalytic mechanism.
