Product Information

• Name: Hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate (HXK) is a model system that has been used to investigate the binding of peptides. It has been shown to bind with both proteins and other compounds, such as human serum albumin, and it is chemically stable in aqueous solution. HXK is also a good model system for studying the conformational changes in peptides that are important for their function. The protein-binding properties of HXK have been investigated by NMR spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction data, which provide information about the chemical structure of this compound. HXK can be used to study reactions involving nitrogen atoms, such as those involved in autoimmune diseases or growth factors. Reaction solutions containing HXK can be used as a model for high salt conditions and the reaction mechanism can be investigated using trifluoroacetic acid.
