| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro enzyme activity assays, 4-Methylumbelliferyl sulfate potassium is used as a fluorogenic substrate for sulfatase. The assay typically involves incubating the substrate with the enzyme sample in appropriate buffer (e.g., acetate buffer, pH 5.0-6.0) at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. The reaction is stopped by adding alkaline buffer (e.g., glycine-NaOH, pH 10.4), and fluorescence is measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of approximately 360/450 nm. The amount of fluorescent product released is proportional to sulfatase activity.
