sustratos cromógenos
Scope note: Precursores de pigmentos incoloros, endógenos o exógenos, que pueden transformarse por mecanismos biológicos en compuestos coloreados. Se utilizan en ensayos bioquímicos y en el diagnóstico como indicadores, especialmente en forma de sustratos de enzimas. (no confundir con los pigmentos sintetizados por las bacterias que se llaman también cromógenos)
