Proline (Pro) Assay Kit

Proline (Pro) Assay Kit

Product Introduction

In organisms, proline is not only an ideal osmotic regulating substance, but also can be used as a protective substance for membranes and enzymes and a free radical scavenger, thereby protecting the growth of plants under osmotic stress. For the accumulation of potassium ions, another important osmotic regulating substance in the body, in the vacuole, proline can also regulate the osmotic balance of the cytoplasm.

 

Principle    

Among the amino acids in plants, only proline (Pro) can react with acidic ninhydrin to generate a stable red product (as shown below). This product has a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of 520 nm, and its absorption value is linearly related to the proline content. Therefore, the proline content in the sample can be determined by the acidic ninhydrin method.
