Dithioerythritol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesWhite solid
UsesReagent for the reduction of disulfide group. Prevents oxidation of sulfhydryl-containing proteins during SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Cleavage of disulfide bonds in proteins
Uses1,4-Dithioerythritol is a Michael reaction acceptor; inducers of enzymes that protect against carcinogenesis: reactivity with sulfhydryl groups.
UsesReagent for maintaining ?SH groups in the reduced state; quantitatively reduces disulfides.
DefinitionChEBI: The meso-diastereomer of 1,4-dimercaptobutane-2,3-diol; a sulfur-containing sugar derived from the monosaccharide erythrose; and an epimer of dithiothreitol.
reaction suitabilityreagent type: reductant
Purification MethodsCrystallise DTE from ether/hexane and store it in the dark at 0o. [Beilstein 1 III 2360.]
