Product Information

• Name: Cyclohexyl methyl methylphosphonate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cyclohexyl methyl methylphosphonate (CHMM) is a chemical compound that disrupts the production of proteins by attacking sulfur-containing amino acids. This compound is useful for the study of sulfur-containing compounds, such as those found in sarin gas. The sensitivity and specificity of CHMM for detection purposes has been shown using mass spectrometric techniques and sensors. Cyclohexyl methyl methylphosphonate binds to sulfur-containing amino acids, which can be identified with chromatographic techniques or databases containing information about these compounds. CHMM has also been used in sample preparation methods prior to analysis by spectrometric techniques.
