2. p-Nitrophenyl galactoside is a colorless compound that is hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase to yield galactose and p-nitrophenol, which is intensely yellow. Why is this compound not used for screening colonies for the presence or absence of active β-galactosidase? (5 points).

Pera-Nitrophenyl galactoside is a colorimetric and spectrophotometric substrate.

It is also using for the detection of β-galactosidase activity.

It is normally colorless but if β-galactosidase is present, it hydrolyzes the Pera-Nitrophenyl galactoside molecule into galactose and pera-nitrophenol.

yellow color of the compound can be used to check for enzyme activity and further it is required to check the utilization of lactose so we can measure the enzymatic rate.

But whenver it is used for screening colonies to determine the presence or absence of active β-galactosidase, This stage unable to act as an inducer for the lac operon and Without another lactose analog that will not act as an inducer so this compound not used for screening colonies for the presence or absence of active β-galactosidase.

Hope you understood well ....!!

Have a nice day !!!

. β-Galactosidase (lacZ) has bifunctional activity. It hydrolyzes lactose to galactose and glucose and catalyzes the intramolecular isomerization of lactose to allolactose. β-Galactosidase promotes the isomerization by means of an acceptor site that binds glucose after its cleavage from lactose and thus delays its exit from the site. Allolactose, not lactose, is the natural inducer for the lac operon. a. Would you expect β-galactosidase to be induced in a zy+ mutant upon the addition of lactose? Upon the addition of...
