CAS 6892-68-8: Dithioerythritol
Description:Dithioerythritol (DTE) is a small organic compound characterized by its two thiol (-SH) groups, which contribute to its reducing properties. It is a colorless, viscous liquid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. DTE is often used in biochemical and molecular biology applications, particularly as a reducing agent to maintain proteins in their reduced state and to prevent oxidation. Its structure is similar to erythritol, but with the addition of sulfur atoms, which enhances its reactivity. Dithioerythritol is known for its ability to break disulfide bonds in proteins, making it valuable in protein folding studies and in the preparation of samples for various analytical techniques. Additionally, it has applications in the synthesis of other chemical compounds and in the stabilization of certain enzymes. Due to its reducing nature, DTE must be handled with care, as it can react with oxidizing agents. Overall, its unique properties make it a useful tool in both research and industrial settings.
