Usage

General Description

H-VAL-ALA-PNA is a chemical compound used in biochemical research as a substrate for enzymes such as proteases and peptidases. It is a synthetic peptide consisting of the amino acids valine (Val) and alanine (Ala) linked to a para-nitroanilide (PNA) moiety. The para-nitroanilide group serves as a chromogenic substrate, meaning it undergoes a color change when cleaved by the enzyme, allowing for easy detection and quantification of enzyme activity. This chemical is commonly used in enzyme kinetics studies and drug development research to test the specificity and efficiency of various proteolytic enzymes. It is also known for its stability, solubility, and ease of handling in laboratory settings.
