Product Information

• Name: 2-Methylthio-trans-zeatin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylthio-trans-zeatin is a naturally occurring sulfur containing compound found in plants. It has been shown to modulate the plant’s defense system, inducing the formation of nodules on the roots and increasing resistance against diseases. 2-Methylthio-trans-zeatin can also be used for bioanalytical purposes, as it can be used to detect other isomers of 2-methylthio-trans-zeatin. The compound can be detected by a number of methods such as mass spectrometry or chromatography. 2-Methylthio-trans-zeatin has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme adenylyltransferase, which is essential for DNA replication. This mechanism of action is similar to that of quinolones, which are commonly used antibiotics.
