Abstract
Hydrolyzable substrates comprise blocked moieties which, when cleaved from the substrate during hydrolysis, provide electron transfer agents. The released electron transfer agents can be recycled between a reductant and a reducible compound that upon reduction provides a detectable species. Alternatively, they can be recycled between an oxidant and an oxidizable compound that upon oxidation provides a detectable species. These substrates are useful in analytical compositions, elements and methods for the determination of hydrolytic analytes, such as hydrolytic enzymes or biological cells containing such enzymes.
