2-Mercapto-1H-imidazole

CAS: 872-35-5

2-Mercapto-1H-imidazole is an irreversible inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. It binds to the nitrogen atoms of the enzyme's active site and forms a strong hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom of the xanthine substrate. The steric interactions between 2-mercapto-1H-imidazole and the substrate prevent binding and catalysis. The crystal structures of 2-mercapto-1H-imidazole in complex with xanthine oxidase have been determined using X-ray crystallography. FTIR spectroscopy has shown that 2-mercapto-1H-imidazole coordinates in a geometry similar to that of the reactant, hydrochloric acid. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has revealed that proton transfer takes place when 2-mercapto-1H imidazole binds to xanthine oxidase, which is consistent with reaction mechanism involving elect
