Description

1-Thioglycerol, widely utilized as a reducing agent in protein chemistry and molecular biology, serves to safeguard proteins against oxidation and denaturation by reducing disulfide bonds to their thiol bases for subsequent modification or analysis. Additionally, its exploration in medical applications comprises its potential as a cystic fibrosis inhibitor to enhance lung cell function. It also finds application in the preparation of metal nanoparticles and as a stabilizer in specific pharmaceutical formulations.
