Description:
7-Amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC) is used in the synthesis of substrates for the fluorometric assay of proteolytic enzymes in biological fluids and therefore the precursor for a variety of AFC enzyme substrates. It is a fluorogenic standard useful as a calibration standard for AFC-based enzyme substrates and for quantitating assays monitoring 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC) release such as those utilizing ubiquitin-AFC. Compared to AMC enzyme substrates, fluorogenic AFC substrates generate AFC that has longer absorption and fluorescence wavelength that AMC. AFC is also suitable as laser dye. Spectral Data: lambdaex 376nm, lambdaem 482nm, Quantum yield 0.531.
