Application

4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-cellobioside has been used as a substrate:
  • to assay cellulase from A. niger
  • to determine the extracellular enzyme activity for 1,4-β-cellobiohydrolase
  • to assay the activity of bound enzyme, endoglucanase I (EGIc) Trichoderma reesei class II hydrophobins (HFBI)

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-cellobioside is used as a substrate for cellulase assays. It is mainly used for activity staining of cellulases in polyacrylamide gels.

Using 4-methylumbelliferyl (MUF) beta-D-cellobioside as a substrate, the ability of cellobiohydrolase I from Trichoderma longibrachiatum to catalyze transglycosylation has been demonstrated. At substrate concentrations greater than 2 mM, the formation of MUF-tetrasaccharide was detected using HPLC. In the course of
