Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenylboronic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenylboronic acid is a fluorinated derivative of 2-hydroxyphenylboronic acid. It has an active site and intramolecular carboxylate that can be found in the family of hydroxylase enzymes. The macrocyclic ligand for this enzyme is a fluorine atom, which can be found in the methane monooxygenase family. X-ray crystallography has been used to study the enzyme's structure and x-ray diffraction data have been obtained. Hydroxylation occurs when the substrate molecule binds to the active site, which leads to its conversion into a new compound. This process is catalyzed by 2-hydroxy-5-methylphenylboronic acid, which acts as a ligand for the enzyme.
