Abstract

Provided herein is a composition comprising an enzyme that releases pyrophosphate from a substrate and a dye of Formula 1. A method for detecting pyrophosphate is also provided. A kit comprising a polymerase that releases pyrophosphate by hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates during nucleic acid replication, a divalent manganese salt, and the dye are also provided. The present composition, method and kits provide a way to detect and/or quantify substrates or products of enzyme reacted substrates associated with the release pyrophosphate (e.g., nucleic acid amplification reactions and other reactions that hydrolyze ATP) via a distinct color change without substantially affecting the sensitivity and/or specificity of the reaction.
