Product Information
Name:Carbon tetrabromide
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Carbon tetrabromide is a chemical substance that is used in the synthesis of organic compounds. It can be used to synthesize carbon-carbon bonds by reacting with alkenes and alkynes. Carbon tetrabromide reacts with water vapor to produce carbon dioxide and bromine, which can then react with other molecules. The reaction mechanism for this process involves hydrogen bonding. Carbon tetrabromide has been shown to inhibit replication of DNA and RNA, as well as the protein synthesis in cells. This inhibition is based on its ability to form covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms in nucleic acids and proteins. The reactive properties of carbon tetrabromide make it an effective inhibitor of many infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses, including HIV and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This action may be due to the structural similarity between carbon tetrabromide and fatty acids found in cell membranes.
