2-Naphthyl b-D-mannopyranoside

2-Naphthyl b-D-mannopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate specifically designed for the detection and quantification of β-mannosidase enzyme activity. Upon hydrolysis by beta-mannosidase, this substrate releases a colored product, 2-naphthol, which can be easily monitored spectrophotometrically. The use of 2-Naphthyl b-D-mannopyranoside allows for the rapid and sensitive measurement of beta-mannosidase activity in various applications, such as enzyme assays, screening for β-mannosidase-producing microorganisms, and studying the kinetics and inhibition of  beta-mannosidase enzymes.
