APPLICATIONS |
||
| The only existing three-carbon sugar alcohol (triitol) is glycerol. Low molecular weight thiols or their esters such as 2-mercaptoethanol, 1-thioglycerol and dithiothreitol denatures the proteins by reducing disulfide linkages leading to tautomerization and breaking up quaternary protein structure. They are involved in protein processing, induction of genes, oligonucleotide synthesis. They have been studied as anti-cancer agents by acting as alkylating agents to damage the cancer cell DNA. | ||
