Application

Bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate(BNPP) has been used as substrate to determine the enzyme activity of root phosphodiesterases of wetland plants[1]. BNPP has been used to study the mechanism of cleavage of BNPP using oxamido-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes as catalysts[2].

The major cellular event in the development and progression of liver fibrosis is the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Activated HSCs proliferate and produce excess collagen, leading to accumulation of scar matrix and fibrotic liver. As such, the induction

Phosphorus (P)-limited plants produce higher amounts of root phosphatases, but research has mostly focused on phosphomonoesterases (PMEs). Because phosphate diesters can form a significant proportion of organic P in wetlands, we aimed to determine whether wetland plants produce both root

Directed evolution was used to enhance the activity of the glycerophosphodiesterase enzyme from Enterobacter aerogenes, GpdQ, toward bis(para-nitrophenol) phosphate (BpNPP), a substrate that is frequently used to assay phosphodiesterases. Native GpdQ has a low level of activity toward BpNPP while

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Could you please assist me with selecting a general esterase inhibitor? My application involves a compound that is not stable in plasma and the instability can be caused by esterase.

    1 answer
    1. A potential product of interest for inhibiting plasma esterase enzyme activity to maintain the stability of substances susceptible to esterase degradation is the product Bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (123943).
