Product Information

• Name: Tetrahydrothiophen-3-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetrahydrothiophen-3-one is a reactive molecule that inhibits serine proteases by reacting with the active site of the enzyme. Tetrahydrothiophen-3-one has been shown to inhibit the activity of serine protease from both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, as well as from human sources such as synovial fluid. Tetrahydrothiophen-3-one also has radical scavenging activities and can be used in chemical reactions. The reactive hydroxyl group provides the hydrophobic effect, which makes it an inhibitor of serine proteases. Tetrahydrothiophen-3-one is a model system for studying enzyme catalysis and its reaction products are tetronic acid and hydroxyl group.
