Can I use triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) instead of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) for the estimation of SOD activity?

13 February 2024 0 8K Report

Both TTC and NBT yield formazan when interacting with oxides. The superoxide dismutase assay requires NBT, which reacts with oxide to form formazan. TTC also produces Formazan when it interacts with oxygen. So, can I use triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) instead of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) to estimate POD activity?
