Description

4,4'-Dithiopyridine is a reactive molecule that can be used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is a disulfide bond with a redox potential of -0.43 V, which makes it readily available for reaction. The structural analysis of 4,4'-dithiopyridine has been performed using NMR spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This compound is an inhibitor of sugar transport and can be used to study the p-nitrophenyl phosphate reductase enzyme in bacteria. The reaction product between 4,4'-dithiopyridine and NADPH cytochrome P450 produces the fluorescent molecule 2-aminopurine. This fluorescent molecule may be used as a probe to study transfer reactions in bacteria.
