Description

Trehalose is a naturally occurring disaccharide found in many organisms. Its role in nature is as versatile as its applications in the laboratory. Trehalose is synthesised by cells in response to stress and helps retaining the cellular integrity under tough conditions: An important function of Trehalose is to stabilise protein structures and to prevent proteins from their degradation. Researchers use Trehalosefor instance as a carbon source in selective microbiological media, as desiccation protectant and for cryoprotection.
