Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-α-D-galactosaminide serves as a chromogenic synthetic substrate for lysosomal enzyme α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase to perform enzyme assays. Upon cleavage the substrate forms a yellow color solution of p-nitrophenol that can be measured at 400nm at pH 10.6.

When cultured in broth, fresh clinical isolates of the gram-negative periodontal pathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans form tenaciously adherent biofilm colonies on surfaces such as plastic and glass. These biofilm colonies release adherent cells into the medium, and the released cells can

This paper presents a new assay to determine the activity of the lysosomal enzyme α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (Naga, EC 3.2.1.49) in human serum. It is based on the use of a new chromogenic substrate, DNP-α-GalNAc (2,4-dinitrophenyl-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosaminide) and is performed at pH 4.3 and

Chick embryo chondrocyte microsomes containing intact Golgi vesicles took up 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phospho[35S]sulfate ([35S]PAPS) in a time- and temperature-dependent, substrate-saturable manner. When [35S]PAPS and p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminide (pNP-GalNAc) were added to the incubation in the absence of detergent, the microsomes catalyzed the transfer of

Levels and isoenzyme profiles of beta-hexosaminidase were compared in extracts from normal ovarian and ovarian epithelial tumors. The specific activities of beta-hexosaminidase were significantly (P less than 0.001) higher in malignant than in normal ovarian tissues. The enzyme levels of

Beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase, EC.3.2.1.52), which catalyzes the cleavage of N-acetylglucosamine polymers, is a composition of chitinase and cooperates with endo-chitinase and exo-chitinase to disintegrate chitin into N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). In this investigation, A NAGase from green crab (Scylla serrata) was purified and
