Description

3-Nitrobenzyl bromide (3NB) is a lectin that binds to the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins. It has been shown to inhibit protease activity and be an inhibitor of nitro group formation by reacting with sodium carbonate. 3NB has also been used in sample preparation for monoclonal antibody production. 3-Nitrobenzyl bromide can be used as a probe for hydrogen bonds, which may be due to its ability to form an intermolecular hydrogen bond with other molecules. 3NB inhibits fatty acid synthesis and cardiac contractile function, which is likely due to its inhibitory properties on hydrogen bonding.
