Product Information

• Name: (S)-(+)-1-Indanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-(+)-1-Indanol is a substrate for the human liver alcohol dehydrogenase and can be used to study the enzyme. The molecule has two phenyl groups that are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with other molecules. The hydrogen bond is a relatively weak, noncovalent interaction between two polar molecules. It can be formed by the donation of a lone pair of electrons from one side of an oxygen atom in one molecule to a lone pair of electrons on another oxygen atom in another molecule. This type of bond is responsible for many important biological processes, including DNA replication and protein folding. The (S)-(+)-1-Indanol can also undergo carbonyl reduction, which is the conversion of an organic compound containing a carbonyl group into a corresponding hydrocarbon derivative containing hydroxyl groups. The (S)-(+)-1-Indanol contains both hydroxyl and carbonyl functionalities that make it suitable for this process. (S)-
