Description

Ethyl 2-bromoisovalerate is a chemical compound that is used as a vector for DNA. It has been proposed to be used as a means of introducing genes into bacteria, since it can be easily hydrolyzed by lipases. Ethyl 2-bromoisovalerate has been shown to provide efficient transformation rates in E. coli and other Gram-negative bacteria. This chemical compound also has the ability to form racemic mixtures with acrylic acid and thus can be used for the synthesis of optically pure products. The recombinant DNA sequences are synthesized from the desired amino acid sequence using this vector, which is then transformed into cells capable of expressing the protein product.
