Description

2-Methylthiobenzoxazole is a molecule that has been studied for its potential use as a pesticide. It binds to the thiol group of cysteine residues in proteins and causes defoliation by inhibiting protein synthesis. The 2-methylthiobenzoxazole is also able to bind to other amino acid residues, such as cysteine, methionine, and histidine. This molecule has a high potency and can be used in solid form. The 2-methylthiobenzoxazole is not toxic to mammals because it quickly converts into an inactive form when exposed to air or light. This compound may have potential as a linker between two molecules with different properties, such as drug molecules and protein-binding molecules.
