Product Information
Name:Propanoic acid, 3-bromo-2-methyl-, methyl ester
Brand:Biosynth
Description:3-Bromo-2-methylpropanoic acid is a colorimetric substrate that is used in the screening of enzymes with propionate as a cofactor. This substrate has been found to be selective for esterases, and can be used as an alternative to octanoate for enzymatic studies. The 3-bromo-2-methylpropanoic acid esters are also hydrophobic and have higher melting points than their corresponding acids, making them more suitable for thermophilic organisms. The 3-bromo-2-methylpropanoic acid esters are chiral compounds that can be synthesized in two forms: (R)-3-bromo-2-methylpropanoic acid methyl ester and (S)-3-bromo-2-methylpropanoic acid methyl ester. The enantiomers of these compounds exhibit different biological activity. For example, the (S)-enantiomer
