Fluorogenic and chromogenic substrates used in bacterial diagnostics.
Methods based on the application of chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates enable specific and rapid detection of a variety of bacterial enzymatic activities. By using these techniques, enzymatic reactions can be examined simultaneously or individually, either directly on the isolation plate or in cell suspensions. For this purpose, various testing principles and test kits for clinical and food...
متن کاملSelective chromogenic and fluorogenic peptide substrates for the assay of cysteine peptidases in complex mixtures.
This study describes the design, synthesis, and use of selective peptide substrates for cysteine peptidases of the C1 papain family, important in many biological processes. The structure of the newly synthesized substrates is Glp-Xaa-Ala-Y (where Glp=pyroglutamyl; Xaa=Phe or Val; and Y=pNA [p-nitroanilide], AMC [4-amino-7-methylcoumaride], or AFC [4-amino-7-trifluoromethyl-coumaride]). Substrat...
متن کاملDetection of peptidase activities in Trypanosoma cruzi using chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates.
During our investigations of the major peptidases of 7'~puriosot?iu cnrzi, the protozoan parasite that causes South American trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease), we detected five major peptidase bands after electrophoresis of parasite extracts in polyacrylamide gels containing gelatin as substrate I I ] . Four of these peptidases were cystcine-type peptidases with acidic pH optima; the other enzy...
متن کاملChromogenic methods in coagulation diagnostics.
Chromogenic peptide substrates were developed more than 30 years ago. Although the use of chromogenic substrate methods in coagulation and fibrinolysis diagnostics was not as rapidly implemented as initially believed, they are now well established for several analytes such as antithrombin, FVIII, protein C, plasminogen, plasmin inhibitor, heparins, and pentasaccharides. The advent of direct thr...
متن کاملNew developments in chromogenic and fluorogenic culture media.
This review describes some recent developments in chromogenic and fluorogenic culture media in microbiological diagnostic. The detection of beta-D-glucuronidase (GUD) activity for enumeration of Escherichia coli is well known. E. coli O157:H7 strains are usually GUD-negative and do not ferment sorbitol. These characteristics are used in selective media for these organisms and new chromogenic me...
