Application

4-Nitrophenyl acetate has been used:
  • to evaluate esterase activity in human embryonic kidney cell line
  • in carbonic anhydrase inhibition assay
  • to study its conversion to p-nitrophenol (p-NP) by the esterase activity of bovine serum albumin
  • as a substrate to determine carboxylesterase (CES) activity in mouse liver cells
  • to study the advantages of bioconjugation of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) in magnetic CLEAs matrix

Persistent alteration of protein conformation due to interaction with isoflurane may be a novel molecular aspect of preconditioning. We preincubated human serum albumin with isoflurane, dialyzed to release agent, and assessed protein conformation. Susceptibility to chemical modification by methylglyoxal and
