CheKine™ Mirco β- Xylosidase (β-X) Activity Assay Kit - 96 T

β-Xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) exists in organisms such as plants, bacteria, and fungi. It is a key enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of xylan-based hemicelluloses, and the product xylose can serve as a carbon source for microbial fermentation. Additionally, β-xylosidase can be used as a biobleaching agent in the paper industry, offering environmental benefits over traditional bleaching methods and possessing broad application value. CheKine™ Mirco β-Xylosidase (β-X) Activity Assay Kit offers a simple, convenient, and rapid approach for assessing β-Xylosidase activity, which is suitable for plant tissue, bacteria, and fungi samples. The principle involves β-xylosidase catalyzing the production of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xyloside. p-Nitrophenol exhibits a characteristic absorption peak at 405 nm. By measuring the rate of increase in absorbance at 405 nm, the β-xylosidase activity can be calculated.
