Product Information

• Name: 4-Bromobutyryl chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Bromobutyryl chloride is a chemical compound that is used as a fluorescence probe, which can be used to identify the presence of hydroxyl groups. 4-Bromobutyryl chloride has been shown to react with corynebacterium glutamicum, which is an organism that produces acetyichydrofolate synthetase. This reaction leads to the formation of acetyichydrofolate and acetylchloride. The reaction is a kinetic process and can be followed by measuring fluorescence intensity or quenching of the excited state of the probe. The reaction also occurs in fungi, such as yeast and Penicillium chrysogenum, and in mammalian cells. The rate at which 4-bromobutyryl chloride reacts with these organisms depends on the number of hydroxyl groups present on the surface of their cellular membranes. 4-Bromobutyryl chloride has also been shown to
