Z-L-Arg-pNA*HCl (CAS 59188-53-3)
QUICK LINKS
Z-L-Arg-pNA*HCl is a chemical compound used in biochemical research and enzyme assays. The compound belongs to the class of peptide substrates used to measure the activity of enzymes called peptidases or proteases. Specifically, Z-L-Arg-pNA·HCl is a substrate for proteases that recognize and cleave peptide bonds adjacent to the amino acid arginine (Arg). The "Z" in the compound name indicates that the arginine residue is protected with a specific chemical group called a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) group. The p-nitroaniline (pNA) moiety acts as a chromogenic reporter, producing a yellow color when released upon cleavage by the protease. Measuring the absorbance of the yellow-colored product enables the determination of protease activity or the screening of potential protease inhibitors.
