Resorufin acetate is a very good substrate for sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase, both from the point of view of practical spectrophotometry and in terms of information provided about the nature of the catalysis shown by this enzyme. p-Nitrophenyl (PNP)

Resorufin bromoacetate is a substrate that is rapidly hydrolysed by chymotrypsin. The reaction shows a pre-steady-state burst phase that may be observed by stopped flow spectrophotometry if precautions are taken against spontaneous hydrolysis of the substrate. The strongly activating effect

The acetate derivatives of fluorescein and resorufin exhibited a prominent turn-on type signaling behavior toward BO(3)(-) ions over other common anions. Signaling is based on the selective deprotection of acetate groups by perborate, which resulted in significant chromogenic and fluorogenic

This report describes the metabolic glycoengineering (MGE) of intracellular esterase activity in human colon cancer (LS174T) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In silico analysis of carboxylesterases CES1 and CES2 suggested that these enzymes are modified with sialylated N-glycans, which
