6-Bromo-2-naphthyl β-D-glucopyranoside may be used as a substrate for β-glycosidases in fast blue BB assay. It is also suitable for use with fast blue BB reagent in native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for β-glycosidases activity staining.
ChEBI: A beta-D-glucoside that is beta-D-glucopyranose in which the anomeric hydroxy hydrogen is replaced by a 6-bromo-2-naphthyl group.
6-Bromo-2-naphthyl β-D-glucopyranoside serves as a substrate for β-glycosidases. When hydrolyzed it forms an insoluble colored product.
