L-Alanine-4-nitroanilide serves as a substrate uniquely tailored for the enzyme trypsin, a fundamental component of protease assays. Through its catalytic action, trypsin effectively severs the peptide bond connecting L-alanine and 4-nitroaniline, consequently liberating the distinctive yellow 4-nitroaniline product. Notably, the quantity of generated 4-nitroaniline stands in direct proportion to the level of trypsin activity, and this correlation can be precisely quantified using spectrophotometric measurements.
