Cyanohydrin ethers and esters as high-sensitivity enzyme substrates

   
   

Ethers and esters of cyanohydrins that contain optically detectable moieties are highly effective for detecting, monitoring, and measuring the activity of enzymes that cause the cleavage of certain types of substrates. The cyanohydrins function as proaldehydes and proketones, spontaneously converting to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, which provide a large increase in optical detectability relative to both the starting esters and ethers and the cyanohydrins.

Los éteres y los ésteres de los cyanohydrins que contienen ópticamente moieties perceptibles son altamente eficaces para detectar, supervisar, y medir la actividad de las enzimas que causan la hendidura de ciertos tipos de substratos. Los cyanohydrins funcionan como proaldehydes y los proketones, espontáneamente convirtiendo a los aldehinos y las cetonas, respectivamente, que proporcionan un aumento grande en detectabilidad óptica concerniente a los ambos los ésteres y éteres que comienzan y los cyanohydrins.
