4-Nitrophenyl ?-L-fucopyranoside (?fTM) has been used as a chemical substrate for ?-fucosidase to determine carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) activity. It has also been used as a nitrophenyl-linked substrate in p-nitrophenyl glycoside-based enzyme assays to determine the enzyme activity in cecal samples
