chromogenic detection test = a molecular assay that has colored products, as opposed to chemiluminescent products
Most commonly they are chromogenic but it turns out that some variations are nonchromogenic and pathological.
No, pepsin is not the substrate in the experiment with BAPNA. BAPNA is the synthetic substrate used in this experiment to test the activity of the enzyme pepsin by measuring the rate of substrate cleavage. Pepsin acts on BAPNA as the enzyme, not the substrate.
Chromogenic systems refer to laboratory methods that use color development as an indicator for identifying or quantifying substances. These systems usually involve the use of specific enzymes or substrates that produce colored compounds when acted upon by the target substance. They are commonly used in microbiology for bacterial identification and in clinical chemistry for measuring analytes like glucose or cholesterol.
The substrate of protease is a peptide bond.

Chromogenic system is a method used to create the colors you see in an image in color films or papers by creating color dyes during processing.
The indole test is a biochemical test performed on bacterial species to determine the ability of the organism to split indole from the amino acid tryptophan. This division is performed by a chain of a number of different intracellular enzymes, a system generally referred to as "tryptophanase."
Sulfuric acid is used in hydrogen peroxide assay as a catalyst to help speed up the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and a chromogenic substrate, which produces a colored product. The intensity of the color is directly proportional to the amount of hydrogen peroxide present, making it easier to quantify.
To test if an enzyme is completely saturated during an experiment, you can vary the concentration of the substrate while keeping the enzyme concentration constant. If increasing the substrate concentration no longer leads to an increase in the reaction rate, it indicates that the enzyme is saturated. Additionally, you can plot a graph of reaction rate against substrate concentration and observe if it reaches a plateau.
The secondary antibody in an ELISA test is conjugated with an enzyme to amplify the signal produced when the antibody binds to the target antigen. This enzyme-substrate reaction generates a detectable signal that indicates the presence of the antigen, which allows for more sensitive and accurate detection in the ELISA assay.
The Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test is commonly used to detect and quantify bacterial endotoxins. This test employs the blood cells of the horseshoe crab, which coagulate in the presence of endotoxins. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing to ensure products are free from harmful levels of endotoxins. Variants of the LAL test include the gel-clot, turbidimetric, and chromogenic assays.
enzyme-substrate complex
When the concentration of substrate around an allosteric enzyme increases, more substrate molecules can bind to the active site and induce a conformational change in the enzyme. This can enhance the enzyme's catalytic activity by improving its binding affinity for the substrate or stabilizing the active conformation.
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
