Nα-Benzoyl-DL-arginin-anilid, also known as BAA, is a synthetic chemical compound with the molecular formula C19H24N6O3. It is a derivative of arginine, an essential amino acid, where the Nα position is acylated with a benzoyl group and the amino group is coupled with an anilide group. BAA is often used as a substrate in enzymatic assays, particularly for proteases and peptidases, due to its ability to mimic peptide bonds and its ease of detection upon hydrolysis. The benzoyl group provides a chromophore that allows for spectrophotometric analysis, making it a useful tool in the study of enzyme kinetics and mechanisms.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5699-51-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,6,9 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5699-51: (6*5)+(5*6)+(4*9)+(3*9)+(2*5)+(1*1)=134 134 % 10 = 4 So 5699-51-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
