β-lactamase Substrate
Nitrocefin is a chromogenic substrate specifically targeting β-lactamase enzymes. It displays a characteristic color shift from yellow to red upon hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring, enabling visual quantification of β-lactamase activity. This reagent is widely utilized in studies of enzyme inhibition and the development of β-lactamase-resistant antibiotics.
