Product Information

• Name: Methyl 5-ethynylpyridine-2-carboxylate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 5-ethynylpyridine-2-carboxylate is a ligand that binds in the active site of many enzymes. It can enhance the activity of these enzymes and also change their conformations. Methyl 5-ethynylpyridine-2-carboxylate interacts with four subunits to form a tetradentate framework, which is responsible for this molecule's ability to bind to any type of ligand. This enhancement effect is reversible, and it can be reversed by oxidizing methyl 5-ethynylpyridine-2-carboxylate with nitric acid. The yield of methyl 5-ethynylpyridine-2-carboxylate depends on the reaction conditions and the type of arylacetylene used. Methyl 5-ethynylpyridine-2-carboxylate has been shown to be an effective ligand with a high emission yield when using 1,3
