Product Information

• Name: 3,3'-Thiodipropionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,3'-Thiodipropionic acid is a fatty acid that has been found to have inhibitory effects on the polymerase chain reaction. It can be used in DNA sequencing and other methods of molecular biology. 3,3'-Thiodipropionic acid inhibits the activity of DNA polymerase by forming a covalent bond with the hydroxyl group on the enzyme's 5' end. This prevents the enzyme from elongating a new strand of DNA, inhibiting DNA synthesis. The compound also reacts with disulfide bonds in proteins and has been shown to inhibit some enzymes such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase and phosphoglycerate kinase.
