DNA Cross Linkers

Stability Temperature and Moisture Sensitive
Applications A water soluble, bulkier analogue of the charged MTS reagent MTSET. Charged MTS reagents have been used successfully with SCAM (substituted cysteine accessibility method) to probe the topology and function of a number of ligand-gated ion channels and transporter proteins.

Applications A water-soluble thio-reactive fluorescent probe.

Stability Moisture Sensitive: Desiccate
Applications A heterobifunctional sulfhydryl cross-linking reagent.

Applications A bifunctional iron chelating agent that has been employed to couple metal ions to biological molecules, including radiopharmaceutical synthesis and targeted protein hydrolysis. Bifunctional chelating reagents possess both a strong metal-binding moiety and a group that binds to a biological molecule.

Platinum-based anti-cancer agent; induces apoptosis

Nitrogen mustard derivative; DNA crosslinking agent; anti-cancer agent

Cisplatin, also known as cisplatinum, is a platinum-based anti-cancer agent that inhibits the EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase. It has been shown to have anti-cancer effects in melanoma cells and to inhibit tumor growth in mice. Cisplatin acts by interfering with the mechanism of DNA repairing. It loses one chloride ligand and binds to DNA to inhibit the synthesis, causing DNA damage, and thus inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. In certain studies, the use of cisplatin in combination with other metal chelators has shown improvement in the uptake of the anticancer drug. CisplatiN - Bio-X™ is part of our Bio-X™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.
