Produktinformation

• Name: Potassium bromate Analytical Titrant
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Potassium bromate is a titrant that can be used to determine the concentration of potassium in solutions. Potassium bromate is toxic, and long-term exposure to high concentrations of this chemical can lead to kidney damage and cancer. Studies have shown that low doses of potassium bromate can cause an increase in the frequency of resistant mutants in bacteria (e.g., E. coli) due to its effects on mitochondrial membrane potential and disulfide bond formation. The toxicity of potassium bromate has been studied as a model system for complex enzymes such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Potassium bromate was found to inhibit the activity of these enzymes by binding to sulfur atoms in the enzyme active site, which prevents the formation of disulfide bonds during oxidative phosphorylation, leading to decreased energy metabolism.
