Product Information

• Name: Sodium methanethiosulfonate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sodium methanethiosulfonate is a chemical compound that is used in the preparation of conjugates for use as radiopharmaceuticals. It is also used to modify proteins, such as serine proteases, to study their function. Sodium methanethiosulfonate binds to carbohydrate moieties on proteins and stabilizes the protein-carbohydrate complex by forming a covalent bond with the protein. This modification prevents the protein from being degraded by enzymes that cleave bonds between carbohydrates and proteins. The molecular modelling studies performed on model proteins show that sodium methanethiosulfonate binds to serine protease active sites and inhibits enzymatic activity. Sodium methanethiosulfonate has been shown to be effective in treating muscle tissue damage caused by radiation treatments and chemotherapy.
