Application

4-Nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside has been used as a substrate to assay β-D-celluliosidase or cellobiohydrolase (exocellulase) activity in the microbial community. It has also been used as a substrate to study the endoglucanase J30 activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside is a cellotriose analog, and a chromogenic substrate commonly used for the detection of cellulase activity. Exoglucanase, endoglucanase and β -glucosidase hydrolyze 4-nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside to form p-nitrophenol (PNP).

Conformational changes to 1,4-beta-D-glucan cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) in response to its binding with p-nitrophenyl beta-D-cellobioside (PNPC) were analyzed by second-derivative fluorescence spectrometry at the saturation binding point. Irreversible changes to the configuration of PNPC during the course of the binding

An enzyme active against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside was purified from logarithmic-phase cells of Ruminococcus albus cultivated in a medium containing ball-milled cellulose. The purification yielded homogeneous enzyme after an approximately 520-fold increase in specific activity and a 9% yield. The enzyme was
