Soil Nitrate Reductase (S-NR)Activity Assay Kit

Cat.No. :

Kit-3955

Product Overview :

Soil nitrate reductase (S-NR) catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite and is a key enzyme in soil nitrate nitrogen reduction. Measurement of S-NR activity is important for rational fertilization strategies and reducing nitrogen loss.
S-NR catalyzes the reaction:
NO₃^- + NADH + H⁺ → NO₂^- + NAD⁺ + H₂O.
The produced nitrite reacts with p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and α-naphthylamine under acidic conditions to form a red azo compound with maximum absorbance at 540 nm, which is quantified spectrophotometrically.
