Trypsin is a pancreatic enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins. BAPNA is a synthetic dye covalently bonded to an amino acid. The solution is colorless but turns yellow when it is hydrolyzed. Since the covalent bond in BAPNA is the same as the covalent bonds found between amino acids within a protein, a positive hydrolysis reaction would indicate that Trypsin has separated the bond between the dye and the amino acid in BAPNA.

ViviBAPNA is a substrate used to measure enzyme activity, specifically protease activity. When a protease enzyme cleaves BAPNA, it releases a yellow product that can be quantified spectrophotometrically to determine the enzyme activity level. This makes BAPNA a useful tool in biochemical research to understand enzyme kinetics and inhibitor testing.

In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
No, pepsin is not the substrate in the experiment with BAPNA. BAPNA is the synthetic substrate used in this experiment to test the activity of the enzyme pepsin by measuring the rate of substrate cleavage. Pepsin acts on BAPNA as the enzyme, not the substrate.
Is there any digested BAPNA contaminating the pepsin or deionized water?
BAPNA is a synthetic substrate used in enzymatic assays to measure protease activity, while pepsin is a protease enzyme. If BAPNA is not properly washed away after use, it may contaminate the pepsin or deionized water used in the experiment. It is important to always thoroughly clean and rinse equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
Was there any digested BAPNA contamination the pepsin or deionized water?
Neither contaminated pepsin nor deionized water would cause the digestion of BAPNA. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins, while deionized water is unlikely to impact enzymatic activity. Any digestion of BAPNA would more likely be due to enzyme activity or other factors.
