Product Information
Name:2-Mercapto-3-methyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one
Brand:Biosynth
Description:2-Mercapto-3-methyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (MMI) is a diagnostic agent that belongs to the group of chemical ionization reagents. It has been shown to be effective as a carcinogen in Sprague Dawley rats and to induce cancer at high doses. MMI is used in the analysis of acidity, and is also used for the analysis of amino acids in proteins by chromatography. MMI reacts with histidine residues on ribosomes and forms an iminium ion, which leads to protein synthesis inhibition. This reaction mechanism can be inhibited by adding an amine such as methylamine or ammonia, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis.
