Product Information

• Name: 4-Mercaptomethyl dipicolinic acid
• Synonyms: 4-(Mercaptomethyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Mercaptomethyl dipicolinic acid is a polymerized, bifunctional molecule that can be used as a luminescent probe to study the structure and dynamics of proteins. It has been shown to bind to lanthanide ions and has fluorescence properties. 4-Mercaptomethyl dipicolinic acid can be synthesized by a method involving the reaction of mercaptoethanol with sodium dithiocarbamate and copper(II) sulfate in an aqueous solution. This reaction produces two molecules of 4-mercaptomethyl dipicolinic acid for every one molecule of mercaptoethanol used, which then reacts with two molecules of 2,4-dinitrophenol in an aqueous solution. The resulting product is then purified by recrystallization from hot water. The conformational properties of 4-mercaptomethyl dipicolinic acid are dependent on temperature, pH,
