General Description

6-Fluoro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside is a synthetic chemical compound used in biochemical and molecular biology research as a substrate for detecting the activity of β-galactosidase. It is a fluorogenic substrate that is cleaved by β-galactosidase, producing a highly fluorescent compound. This fluorescent product can be used to conveniently and quantitatively measure β-galactosidase activity in bacterial, mammalian, and yeast cells. The compound has a fluorine atom at the 6 position of the indole ring, which enhances its fluorescence and makes it a sensitive and widely used tool in molecular biology and microbiology research.
