Description
  
  4-Nitrophenyl-α-D- glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for alpha-D-glucosidase, yielding a yellow  solution upon cleavage. 4-Nitrophenyl-α-D- glucopyranoside is also used for the detection of glucansucrases  and for yeast alpha-D-glucosidase and for crystal structure studies of  the complexes of concanavalin A.
