Product Information

• Name: 1,2,2,6,6-Pentamethyl-4-piperidone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2,2,6,6-Pentamethyl-4-piperidone (PMP) is a fluorescent molecule with a characteristic emission maximum at 519 nm. PMP has been shown to bind to the amyloid beta protein in Alzheimer's disease and fluoresce when bound. This fluorescence is quenched by deuteration of the molecule. The use of PMP as a tracer for monitoring the transport of water and nitrogen through plants has also been investigated. In this study, PMP was found to be an effective probe for analysing plant growth and development.
