Biochem/physiol Actions

Monobromobimanes are essentially nonfluorescent until conjugated and readily react with low molecular weight thiols. Unlike common monobromobimanes, this carries a positive charge, thus permitting separation of conjugates by electrophoresis or cation-exchange chromatography

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

The distribution of thiols and disulfides in the guinea pig spermatozoon during maturation and capacitation was studied using both membrane-permeable (mBBr) and impermeable (qBBr) forms of bromobimane, a specific fluorescent probe for thiol groups. In conjunction with the disulfide (SS)-reducing

The acrosome of marsupial spermatozoa is a robust structure which, unlike its placental counterpart, resists disruption by detergent or freeze/thawing and does not undergo a calcium ionophore induced acrosome reaction. In this study specific fluorescent thiol labels, bromobimanes, were used

The single cysteinyl residue 26 of spinach calmodulin was labelled with the thiol-specific bimane fluorescence probe. Following application of stoichiometric quantities of Ca2+ or aluminum ions to the protein, temperature-dependent fluorescence changes (anisotropy, lifetime) could be monitored via the label.

Monobromobimane (mBBr, bimane), a compound that penetrates cells and forms a fluorescent adduct with thiol groups, was used to asses the significance of thiols in platelet function. Exposure of washed platelets for 1 min to 100 microM mBBr abolished ADP-induced
