The synthesis of the bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A, EC 3.1.27.5) chromogenic substrate uridine-3'-(5-bromo-4-chloroindol-3-yl)-phosphate (U-3'-BCIP) is described. RNase A catalyzes the hydrolysis of U-3'-BCIP to release a halogenated indol-3-ol that undergoes rapid aerobic oxidation to the dark blue 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-dichloroindigo. Preliminary kinetic studies indicate that this compound may have practical use for assaying RNase A activity both in vitro and in vivo, e.g. in screening bacterial colonies for RNase A produced by recombinant DNA methods.
本文描述了牛胰核糖核酸酶A(RNase A,EC 3.1.27.5)的显色底物尿苷-3'-(5-溴-4-氯吲哚-3-基)-磷酸酯(U-3'-BCIP)的合成。RNase A催化U-3'-BCIP水解,释放出卤代吲哚-3-醇,该醇迅速进行有氧氧化生成深蓝色的5,5'-二溴-4,4'-二氯靛蓝。初步动力学研究表明,该化合物可能在体外和体内测定RNase A活性方面具有实际用途,例如在筛选通过重组DNA方法产生RNase A的细菌菌落时。
