Produktinformation
2-Aminothiophenol is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of thiophenols and can be prepared by reacting sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of human immunoglobulin production in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. 2-Aminothiophenol also inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. This compound binds to proteins by nucleophilic displacement of sulfur groups from cysteine residues on protein molecules, forming covalent bonds between amino groups and sulfur atoms. 2-Aminothiophenol has been used as a fluorescent derivative for the detection of disulfide bonds in proteins. The reaction mechanism is the same as that for other thiols: formation of a sulfenic acid intermediate followed by reduction to form disulfides. Analysis can be done using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) or adsorption methods such as gas
