Product Information

• Name: Trimethyl(2-pyridyl)tin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trimethyl(2-pyridyl)tin is a dinitrogen tetroxide substrate molecule that has been used to study the reactivity of transition metal ions. It has been used as a model for the enzyme glyoxalase I, which catalyzes the conversion of glyoxal and L-glutamic acid into D-lactic acid and pyruvic acid. Trimethyl(2-pyridyl)tin has also been shown to be an inhibitor of human protein kinases. This substance binds to ruthenium complex, which is then able to bind to the active site of an enzyme and inhibit its activity. The binding process is reversible and can be modeled with kinetic data from x-ray diffraction experiments. Trimethyl(2-pyridyl)tin has two aromatic heterocycles that are linked by a methylene bridge. It is a red shifted substance meaning it absorbs light at longer wavelengths than other substances that are similar
