Quinoline-5-boronic acid

Ref. 3D-FQ40612

Product Information

• Name: Quinoline-5-boronic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Quinoline-5-boronic acid is a boronic acid that binds to carbohydrates. It has been shown to bind to inulin, which is a type of carbohydrate, and can be used as a fluorescent probe for studying the interaction between these two molecules. The fluorescence properties of this compound are sensitive to its environment and will change depending on the pH, ionic strength, or concentration of other compounds. Quinoline-5-boronic acid has also been shown to interact with flavin. This molecule is important for energy metabolism and electron transport in cells. Quinoline-5-boronic acid has been shown to form hydrogen bonds with human serum albumin, which may cause it to be filtered by glomerular filtration rate.
