ChEBI ID CHEBI:75424
ChEBI ASCII Name 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl beta-D-glucoside
Definition An indolyl carbohydrate that is the β-D-glucoside of 3-hydroxy-1H-indole in which the indole moiety is substituted at positions 4 and 5 by chlorine and bromine, respectively. It is used to test for the presence of an enzyme, β-glucosidase, which cleaves the glycosidic bond to give 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-hydroxy-1H-indole, which immediately dimerises to give an intensely blue product.
